My first time visiting Canary Wharf Shopping Complex. I was here last 10 years ago and was above ground visiting the financial district and didn't notice the shopping center connected to the tube station. I feel like you can walk the centre for hours as it is relatively massive with a Waitrose, Asian market, food courts, and many more things to see. I will say the ceiling is a little low so it feels small, but once you enter the main plaza, you really see how large this place is. I will admit the map is slightly confusing to comprehend. read more

A spread out large scale hard to get your bearings one level shopping center connects the basements of all the big skyscrapers in Canary Wharf. Over priced, very select and very showy. Best thing was 2 starbucks within about 1/10th of a mile walk which included free wifi. Full of stores you wish you could afford, and if you could afford them.. you have the sense not to shop here. read more

Canary Wharf - Shopping Centers Near Me - London, XGL

A shopping centre that is nearly completely underground with little signage and very little above ground presence. If you weren't looking for it or not reading the signs as you leave Canary Wharf station, you'd probably not find it. Once you do find it, you'll be able to spend a good couple of hours and fill a few shopping bags with good stuff as you wander up and back. It's on at least a few different levels, so it's easy to miss places and you'll want to check the well placed directories if you are looking for a specific shop. Most of the vendors here are the same as you'll find on any high street or in either of the Westfield shopping centers (Shepherd's Bush and Stratford) but this might be easier if this is your area for work or living. Fat Face, Monsoon, JD Sports, HMV, Next and even a full size Waitrose with fashion and home sections. Floors are nice and smooth with easy ramps, lifts and escalators where needed. There is parking, but I don't know anything about it as I don't have a car. The connection from the Tube helps you avoid the climate if it's not nice. I found it quite a comfortable shopping experience. read more

Try as I might I always get lost in this place. It's so so big, maps doesn't really work as there's no signal and the signs are hopeless! I sometimes walk through on my way to my building - 1 canada sq but always manage to end up in the wrong building. In my picture you'll see the little signs at the entrance. They're not very clear. I don't know what a getter system would be but something should be changed here. Apart from that it's exceplebt with almost anything you could need inside read more

Canary Wharf - Entrance - Shopping Centers Near Me - London, XGL

This is obviously a shopping center for those on the go. The stores are usually smaller than their "normal" shopping center counterparts. You'll find most of the usual shops you'd find in any other shopping center/high street which is great. I find that most of the people use this shopping center more for passing through to get from one building to another. Again, this shopping mall is designed more for the late-working husband who is buying a last-minute anniversary present. If you want to go shopping just to shop, go somewhere else. read more

I absolutely love shopping here, the sales are amazing, and there's really cute clothes. I've never been disappointed when I've shopped at this store. read more

If I'm honest, and I tend to be, I don't shop here. I do like the layout & look of the place though. It reminds me of strip malls in USA only better looking. Canary Wharf is filled with the corporate types & wannabe corporate types during peak hours & this is convenient for them. There's lots of bars, pubs & restaurants surrounding the perimeter. For me, it's convenient for moving between the underground & DLR services. Would be even better if there was a handy M&S read more

Imagine there's been an apocalypse. We are all forced to live in an underground city. Never venturing to the outside world. Walking back and forth between the same uninspired, mass produced stores to buy the same grey and black clothes. Everyone trudging along eating the same type of food, blah, blah, blah. We are shuttled in and out on slow moving, congested trains remembering a time when we got to make independent, varied choices and not give all our money to 'the man'. Welcome to Canary Wharf Shopping Centre, home of the bland brand. Abandon hope all ye who enter here. read more

When I'm in need of a high street one-stop-shop... and can't bear the throngs of Oxford Street, I often come here. Under one, relatively swank, climate controlled roof I get the vast rainbow of chains are laid out before me... Zara, Warehouse, Ted Baker, even a mini Topshop and a mega Waitrose. Once you've learned how to navigate the labyrinth of this place (and be warned, you probably will get lost the first couple of times - pick up a map!) I think it's pretty great for a person's high street shopping needs. It's not really crowded... the staff in the shops tend to be more attentive (there are still bankers out there with money to spend - and the shops want to be sure they get it) and I can't think of a chain store that hasn't set-up shop here. So when it's cold and drizzly outside, and you'd rather avoid the confusing monstrosity that is Westfield, but still wouldn't mind staying dry and toasty... give Canary Wharf a go... it just might turn into your go-to high street shopping solution. read more

The Canary Wharf shopping centre frustrates the hell out of me. Generally, in life, I am looking for somewhere to eat. The rest of my time is just a gap between meals. This is what dismays me about Canary Wharf Shopping Centre -- 'Birleys' aside, you can't get a decent sandwich!. Sure, you can go to Pret and get some weird fish with overpriced salmon, or you can go to some other little pretentious place where you get like a beansprout for lunch but--- do you knows know what I mean?. You just can't get good food!. What has happened to the world?. If this place was In New York there'd be a massive food court and another fifteen places with giant Deli's with massive baguettes filled with beef and turkey!. Maybe my main problem was working for three months in the soul-destroying Canary Wharf area. I used to go for lunch every day desperate to find good food. They have good food at 'Birleys' but it's a bit expensive and you don't want to do the same thing every day. Aside from that, there is no good food. This troubles me. read more

Great selection of stores, high and middle end shopping. Also has a Tesco, Waitrose, several restaurants from fast food to waiter service. You can park underground on the weekend for 3hrs, free (if you spend £10 in any shop) In general, all the shops are smaller than you would find on the average high street so have a smaller selection but it's a great place nonetheless. read more

Chainville. There is nothing interesting or of note here. The place is full of corporates at lunchtime on weekdays and chavs at weekends. For a list of shops and restaurants, see pretty much any other high street that's full of chains. It will be the same as this place. read more

Like someone's else review, I'm not sure whether I like or dislike this place. It's a niceplace to get away from your desk for a while. I'm not a shopper by any stretch so a shopping centre is a shopping centre is a shopping centre to me. It's the most understated shopping centre I know of. If you didn't know that there were shops here, you'd be forgiven for thinking this is just a place where worker bees head to. In fact, most of it is underground with no visible shops above ground. The shops above ground are inside what looks like a work building. You'd not know there's a Tesco and other food options inside. Most of the food options are so-so and on the pricey side, perhaps due to location and abundance of office workers who can afford a little more, so be warned. It's got some of the nicer shops but none ever seem busy so that can be good or bad depending on your take. read more

I am in a quandry on whether to like or loathe this place. Sure it's convenient to the business district above and covered and away from the cold and elements, but it's just a bunch of the same old crap I can get anywhere else. Maybe I didn't explore the place well enough to find that diamond in the rough, or perhaps I just kept getting lost because everything looks the same. I'll keep digging and hope I find something. Be sure to leave a trail of popcorn. read more

This is a great shopping centre to have a look on a mix of shops from retail to unaffordable there is also a huge range of places to eat/drink/ snack Known for Celeb Spotting I saw Richard blackwood from MTV the other week and i have seen Antony from Big Brother something, and his Xfactor runner up girl friend! read more

Nice place to get away from the hustle and bustle of central London and experience some nice and quiet time. Loved the huge shopping malls. I wished I could have spent more time here but was pressed for time. Will definitely be back on my next visit. read more

Skip the 'shopping centre (mall)'. London's brand new financial district is worth seeing just for the sake of it - all the buildings are new! Great modern architecture, very clean. Take the Jubilee Underground line to Canary Wharf stop. Stop to admire the brand new Subway station as you exit. It is the work of perhaps the most famous modern British architect: Sir Norman Foster. read more

This is not one of the best shopping centres... it is quite difficult to navigate and most of the shops are quite small and overcrowded... also not much in terms of restaurants and those restaurants are mostly hidden away in the darkest deepest corner read more

Canary Wharf Shopping Centre is a great little shopping centre, well "little" is relative considering they claim to have 200 stores and restaurants. There are several levels to this centre and it reminds me a bit of a tower. Most of the stores are geared towards office attire considering we are in the heart of London's financial district, it makes sense. At the moment there is a very small ice skating rink just outside. There was also face painting, clowns, and activities for small children. The tube station is attached to the shopping centre which is quite handy especially in bad weather. Most of the stores are basic high street brands that you can find all over London. Their one unique service that I spotted is the American restaurant chain Chilli's, which was a sunrise to see. read more

Coming here is a waste of time, but it's close by so I always end up settling. Clothing shops don't have anything interesting and haven't found any good eats here. You think for all the money walking around in that place you'd find something decent, but the only thing in common was the high price tag for poor to average quality food and goods. read more

Canary Wharf is okay as far as shopping centres go. It's got the usual high street shops (Topshop, Zara, Warehouse, Reiss, etc.), but none of them are particularly big so you shouldn't expect to find a huge range of things here compared to Oxford Street or the two Westfield malls in London. There's nothing spectacular by way of eating either. In fact, I find this mall very ordinary. I can't put my finger on it but it's one of the most soulless places in London for me. It's nothing to do with the fact the financial sector's here, just that there doesn't seem to be much of an undercurrent of activity here, despite the hordes of people during working hours. It just looks and feels the same as every other generic mall. read more

While I was not an initial fan, this place has steadily grown on me to be honest... it is what it is, but that's actually an odd mix of a smaller mall with the glitz of the nicer parts of the Westfield at Shepherd's Bush... the place itself just has a feel of quality about it, which despite the small(ish) shops I've come to appreciate... especially outside of the busy working hours. I say "smaller mall", but that's a bit misleading as despite the size of the shops, which are generally on the small side, the mall itself crosses the tube station and goes out in a few different directions and even levels in some places... it's definitely larger than first impressions from any entrance would lead you to believe. There's nothing here that's going to blow your mind or worth coming just here for, but if you're in the area you can probably get pretty much anything you need... from Boots, Waitrose and Robert Dyas,, to HMV and Curry's, to Next , Zara, and Ted Baker, all the usual suspects are present and accounted for. The eateries run a similar line, with no overwhelming standouts but plenty to choose from if you're in a pinch. You've got your Itsu, Wasabi, Nandos, Wagamama, Byron, Krispy Kreme, and Starbucks, among many others. (Come to think of it, there is a salt beef place that I've always wanted to try and secretly hope would be a treasure, but sadly it closes earlier than I tend to make my rounds here.) You've also got a few newsagents (at least one with Collect+), a flower shop, and even a semi-attached post-office so you really can get just about anything you need done here unless you're after a truly budget style shop... there are no £ shops or generic clothing shops here, etc., the cheapest places are still your high street chains at best. So, despite being near invisible from the outside in the concrete sprawl that is Canary Wharf, it may be worth dropping in here if you're in the area and haven't given it a shot or looking for a weekend alternative to the nearby Stratford Westfield... it just may end up growing on you as well in the end. read more

A massive shopping centre that has hundreds of shops, I've got lost quite a few times as it is just so massive. Lots of variety but not many cheap shop more posh than cheap..not good in these credit crunching times. Video link: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=946cY5LQrCo read more

Not particular good. Small tiny shops. Some of the foodplaces are ok. What irritates me is that the shoppingcentre is so confusing. You can easily get lost there. read more

Okay, I may be biased because I work in the area, but my view is that there are far too many repetitive shops - try counting the number of Pret's, Starbucks, Boots etc. Back to the positives, some basics are accounted for, gadgets, banks, food, supermarket outlet, along with a cinema at the nearby West India Quay. May seem spacious, but would advise to avoid during weekdays, especially lunch hours or just after 5pm! read more

Nice building, feels new and they are doing up some of it upstairs (or have just finished). There are now actually quite a few shops, only trouble is they are all the ones that are pretty expensive - well okay apart from Top shop. And I guess there is Next and Gap but that is about as budget as you will find. The good thing about this shopping center is that during the weekends it is fairly quiet - so much nicer to come here than brave some of the other outlets in London. It is a bit of a maze though - it links through to another shopping center that looks the same, just a different name. read more

A good basic variety of shops, some higher end of the market like Mont Blanc and Reiss, other good old staples like Dorothy Perkins and Gap. Some very good food shops, wide variety of interesting lunches, not much for classy dinners read more

canary wharf is the perfect place to go if you know which shop you need and don't want the have the hassle of parking issues and rude crowds as found in other places. can be a bit hard to navigate.. and its missing just a few key shops. read more
