Lots of office buildings and shopping here
Yuko H.

Canary Wharf is nothing like what we think as London. It's more like lower Manhattan. High rise office buildings everywhere. If you are not dressed in suits, you feel like you are underdressed. They have plenty of restaurants here, all are pricy for what it is and haven't run into amazing restaurants yet. Restaurants are always busy, expect some wait or avoid peak lunch/dinner time. They also don't lack shops. All the name brand is here. I had a shoe emergency while walking towards an office. I asked my coworker to quickly fine me a closet shoe store possible and he managed to do so very well by locating a reasonably priced brand among all other high end brands. View from any high rise office building is nice with River Thames near by. Water is everywhere around and just nice to look at them when you think you are so stressed.

Despite what some may say - that Canary Wharf is the financial district, that it's not the place to stay as a tourist, that it'll be dead evenings and weekends - Canary Wharf turned out to be a great place to stay as a tourist. True, it is a primary financial hub, with many office workers coming in, but also as a result, there are many restaurants, bars, and shopping malls. In fact, we never found any "dead" nights at all, even on Sunday! People seem to come to Canary Wharf as a destination in itself. As a tourist, it's convenient to have all these restaurants and shopping at your doorstep; the Canary Wharf Underground (Jubilee line) takes you right into Central London within 20-25 minutes (Westminster or Green Park -- and easy to switch to other lines); and the views of the water (Thames and canals) are fabulous. Great area for walking around or running - it's clean, modern, and safe. A bonus: The wholesale Billingsgate Fish Market is nearby (although no direct way to walk - it's kind of circuitous to get there by foot, but it can be done), and if you're an early bird (4-8AM) and want to see the freshest fish being hawked, that's a fun place to see!

Financial district, modern looking and clean. Not as many tourists as other parts. Tall office buildings. One Canada Square is the third largest building in the country. Nice strolls along the water. Very safe to walk around. Easy to spend a whole day here, plenty of restaurants.

Canary wharf is my only favorite place in London in terms of working and living. I got a feeling that every time I stepped into canary wharf as if I came along to a different country. The modern architecture of canary wharf just so different from the rest of the city. I used to work here, the working environment is impeccable. As to residence, there are several modern apartments around this place, even though those apartments may little pricy, but totally worth it, environment and facility etc. are perfect both indoor and outdoor.
