Area Comments

When the development of Canary Wharf and Docklands began, a lot of people sneered at it. Now those sneerers are regretting it, and Canary Wharf is one of the most extraordinary development success stories of our time.

From the late 1980s Canary Wharf's development pushed Docklands property market up, and up, and up. Limehouse and Wapping have been the chief beneficiaries of the development spillover, and the regeneration hasn't just benefited those seeking to move into these areas to live and work, it's energized the communities around them. In Limehouse particularly - though cheaper than Wapping - the gentrification of the area has made a huge difference to everyone, and this is now (only a few years after being a fairly rundown and dingy area) a thriving social space.

Canary Wharf itself is of course primarily an office space, but flats and apartments - most stunning, overlooking the gorgeous and fashionable riverscape that has become one of the prides of London - are available, and are mostly snapped up with extreme speed. This is a place of enormous pay packets and high prices, and anyone living within the shadow of 1 Cabot Square is likely to be paying top dollar for their pied a terre. Hence the fact that for larger and calmer - though by no means cheap any longer - spaces, those working in the Canary Wharf area look to Limehouse and Wapping amongst other select areas.

Living and working in Canary Wharf is one of the most exciting experiences London has to offer. The area, once derided, is now accepted as a style and design icon, a new and futuristic cityscape dominating the northern shores of the Thames and challenging the older parts of the city. Dining is extremely varied and mostly excellent, shopping in the local malls features some of the best in designer names, bars are plentiful and always full of trendy, wealthy professionals, and the air of the place is one of great confidence and power.

To live in Canary Wharf takes a good deal of money and a real commitment to the high life it offers - but if you can afford the one, you will love the other.

Balham

Balham

Balham is an area of south London which may well be said to fit better than some into the notion of the metropolis really being a collection of villages. That idea may be hard to sustain amid the skyscrapers of the city or Canary Wharf, or the endless Portland Stone white mews of the west end. But Balham may just have a hint of this vibe.
