South Quay Plaza, Canary Wharf, E14

High-rise luxury accommodation, located right at the heart of one of the world’s foremost wealth creation hubs is a lifestyle choice many may find hard to resist investing in. Rising 68 floors above street level, South Quay Plaza is one of the tallest residential developments in Europe and a distinctive landmark that complements its nearby Canary Wharf neighbours. A major new transport interchange for the Elizabeth Line makes it also one of the most well-connected places to live in London.

The one, two and three bedroom apartments provide spectacular vantage points from which to view the whole of the Capital and also have interiors to match: exquisitely designed and meticulously finished. Residents-only facilities are of the highest standard and include a 24-hour concierge, lounge, swimming pool, gym and screening room. The pool overlooks South Dock, a body of water, just off the River Thames, as does a 56th floor bar and terrace. The development is surrounded by 2.6 acres of landscaped gardens which ensures total privacy, although residents can easily walk to the restaurants, bars and art galleries of Canary Wharf which is also the home of many luxury retail brands.

For walk-to-work convenience, South Quay Plaza is hard to beat, but being near the new Elizabeth line adds a new dimension because journey times to Central London and Heathrow have now been halved. Other options include the Jubilee line Underground, which runs straight to the City and the West End, while the DLR network connects with the rest of the Docklands peninsula, Westfield Shopping City (Stratford) and London City Airport.
