One Park Drive, Canary Wharf, E14

One Park Drive is one of the most recognisable residential buildings in Canary Wharf. It sits by the river in the newer Wood Wharf district, but its design itself makes it stand out straight away.

Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the same architects behind major global landmarks like the Tate Modern, this development’s circular shape gives it a very distinct look compared to typical London developments.

One of the features that helps One Park Drive stand out is the way the apartments are laid out. Instead of a standard layout across the building, it’s split into three different living styles.

The lower levels host loft-style homes with more open layouts and the middle section comprises cluster apartments. The higher floors are bay apartments that prioritise views and natural light.

One Park Drive’s location adds to its overall appeal. Wood Wharf is a newer part of Canary Wharf that feels more residential and is complete with open walkways, public spaces and a quieter atmosphere. Residents are still close to offices, restaurants, retail outlets and excellent transport links.

This development focuses more on lifestyle; the in-house facilities are similar to those of a high-end hotel. Residents benefit from a large swimming pool, spa, gym, cinema and even quieter spaces like a library.
