Rental Guide for Office Space in Canary Wharf
NB. Leased office rents, rates and service charge are quoted per ft2 per year. The above rental estimates reflect good quality (but not prime) air conditioned offices. More expensive and cheaper accommodation will generally be available. Rent rates and service charge estimates are only intended as a guide. Office space is often available with costs outside these guidelines. Negotiated rent free incentives will often make the net effective rent, lower than the above estimates. Business rates payable will vary from year to year, changing each April, due to annual changes in the Uniform Business Rate. Higher rates are paid for brand new buildings. Rent quoted in the City of London financial district is assumed not to be in a tower, where rents can be significantly more expensive |

About Canary Wharf

Canary Wharf – located to the East in London E14 on the banks of the meandering Thames – is the UK’s second key financial centre, alongside the City of London. Construction began in the 1980s on derelict docklands and it is London’s newest business district.
Uniquely amongst the other commercial London areas, the architecture is characterised entirely of striking modern office buildings. It is home to some of Europe’s tallest buildings, including One Canada Square. Alongside a full range of office space, Canary Wharf boasts fabulous river views, extensive shopping and world class restaurants.
Canary Wharf contains about 16 million ft2 of commercial space (both office and retail). Almost half of Canary Wharf office space is owned by the Canary Wharf Group. High-profile organisations – particularly banks, professional services and media companies – have chosen to rent an office in Canary Wharf, many establishing their HQ in the area. Barclays, Credit Suisse, Citigroup, Clifford Chance, Infosys, HSBC, JP Morgan, KPMG, MetLife, Moody’s, Morgan Stanley and Thomson Reuters have all taken Canary Wharf space.
Whether you’re looking for long-term leased office space, or flexible, fully furnished serviced offices, Canary Wharf is an excellent, prime location for start-ups and established businesses alike. Alongside traditional private offices, coworking space with meeting rooms are also great alternatives for businesses who value flexible lease terms above all else. The high rise tower blocks themselves are flexible, with sub-divisible floors suitable for smaller occupiers, shared space alongside the larger corporates. Finally, a virtual office in Canary Wharf will give your business a prestigious London address, without the expensive overhead of physical space.
Canary Wharf office rents overall are competitive compared to the alternative key London commercial districts. Notably, alongside the glamorous towers, you’ll find plenty of lower budget Canary Wharf office accommodation amongst the surrounding low rise buildings.
Canary Wharf has excellent transport links – with the Jubilee Line on the London Underground and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) connecting via Stratford International and the Eurostar to mainland Europe. Bus and River Bus services are available from Canary Wharf Pier, along with Cycle Superhighway CS3.
The brand new, imposing train station built for the Elizabeth Line further provides high speed and easy access to Central and West London and beyond. For example Liverpool Street in the City is now only a 7 minutes journey, Bond Street in the heart of Mayfair is 13 minutes away and you can be at Heathrow Airport in less than 40 minutes!
London City Airport is only a 15 minute cab ride or 25 minutes on the DLR/Tube. These first-class transport facilities – combined with a prestigious address alongside some household names – make an office in Canary Wharf an attractive and persuasive proposition for an aspiring business.
