The Old East End

The Old East End:

In town for productivity or pleasure? Both are easily accessible from this Canary Wharf studio apartment in Europe's tallest residential building. Your hosts have taken the time to design a welcoming space that makes efficient use of the compact space. The shared facilities mirror that sought-after work-life balance we all strive for, with a casual co-working space, meeting rooms where you can knuckle down in peace and quiet, plus a first-floor yoga studio where you can unwind after a busy day. The little table in the apartment also doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace if you don't fancy changing out of your pyjamas. Canary Wharf has come a long way and is striving to shake off its 'all work and no play' reputation. Step out, and you'll uncover a vibrant neighbourhood lined with fantastic restaurants, lively bars and high-end boutiques. There's also plenty of culture with live music and art exhibitions held in repurposed spaces throughout the area. You're just a seven-minute walk from Heron Key DLR and half a mile from Canary Wharf station – perfect for when you want to head into Central. Finally, London City Airport is less than a fifteen-minute drive away, making it an ideal choice for a flying visit to London's financial district.
