Canary Wharf Residential by Canary Wharf Group

Canary Wharf has always placed the highest priority on creating beautiful and versatile open spaces – spaces that are used as part of the daily life on the Estate, and that provide a sense of serenity and well-being. The residential district continues this approach – over a third of the development is dedicated to open spaces, bringing nine new acres of parks and gardens to the Estate.

Canary Wharf is home to London’s largest collection of outdoor public art (with 67 artworks to date) from some of the well-respected artists working today. It has received numerous awards including the international Christie’s Award for Best Corporate Art Collection.

The Estate hosts over 200 arts, entertainment and cultural events every year, with a carefully curated programme that contains some of the world’s best performers and has something for everyone – from the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra playing Gershwin and Shakespeare relayed live from Stratford to afternoon jazz and late night comedy; from lunch markets and fashion shows to children’s workshops, ice skating, street theatre, public talks, dance, sport and more.

The Canary Wharf Estate is a major retail destination, currently is home to over 300 shops, cafés, bars and restaurants across five shopping malls, including the award-winning leisure development, Crossrail Place, housing one of London’s most stunning roof gardens.

Canary Wharf is well-connected: it’s a short distance from London City Airport, there’s the Jubilee Underground line, two Docklands Light Railway stations and a Thames River Bus pier. The arrival of Crossrail in 2018 will mean you’ll be able to reach the West End in 13 minutes and Heathrow in just 39 minutes.

One Park Drive is a single building made up of three distinct typologies. Each typology evolved from a re-examination of city living, has its own distinct characteristics while also working together as a harmonious whole.

The lower floors of One Park Drive feature the Loft apartments – some of the largest apartments with high ceilings and wrap-around terraces, which exploit the immediacy of the connection to the surrounding green spaces and the waterfront.

The Cluster apartments form the heart of the building. Here, the floorplates are mirrored and rotated to create a rhythmic visual complexity, while still maintaining the clarity of the internal spaces. The lower levels are connected with the parks and the water; the higher floors are connected with the sky.

The spiralling top of the building contains the Bay apartments. The orthogonal geometry of the apartments intersects the implicit curve of the building, creating the opportunity for double-height terraces which are recessed into the building. The design of the Bay apartments is focused on maximising light and the views across London. From the generous heights of the Loft through the intricate rhythm of the Cluster and to the concluding spiral of the Bay, the three typologies are distinct expressions within a single dramatic and harmonious architecture.

Every apartment has terraces designed to work seamlessly with the interior living spaces. There is also great variety; many of the Cluster apartments have two outside areas, the Lofts have expansive wrap-around terraces and the Bay apartment terraces have double-height space above them. Each terrace is naturally sheltered within the building’s form, yet connected with the scenery beyond. They’re spaces that invite you outside.

The apartment interiors deliver a complexity and surprise that complements One Park Drive's powerful exterior form, as well as creating a sense of calm and a luxurious intimacy. The interiors focus on natural materials and finishes throughout with special attention being paid to the tactile surfaces.

The three typologies so powerfully expressed in the exterior architecture have their own distinct yet harmonious personalities.

One Park Drive celebrates its communal spaces. Spread across the ground and first floors, they are all fully integrated into the life of the building and positively engage with its surroundings.

The reception, concierge, lounge, library and cinema are all on the ground floor. The first floor houses the exclusive health club including a 20-metre pool, gym, studio space and spa. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling glazing invites stunning views across the surrounding parks, gardens and water.
