Songbird's Perch

Stylish, with state-of-the-art amenities, this lavish home is as swish as its surroundings. You'll find it in Canary Wharf's new Wood Wharf community, rising above the noise of the city's business district on the first floor of a shiny new build. Overlooking the South Dock and waterside gardens, it provides a serene and stylish base for couples and solo travellers.

Inside, sophisticated design is complemented by floor-to-ceiling windows, ushering in heaps of natural light while beckoning you to unwind in the splendour of your surroundings. Dressed with sumptuous linens, the bedroom promises a restful slumber. There's ample wardrobe space here and a desk if you're working remotely. In the mornings, prepare your morning coffee in the fully-equipped kitchen before slipping out for a run along the Thames. Fitness fanatics will especially love the building's state-of-the-art gym, offering classes and personal training. The building also boasts a shared lounge and a south-facing terrace, perfect for socialising.
