This year we unveiled Eden Dock– a first-of-its-kind, urban oasis in the heart of the Wharf, created in partnership with world-leading charity the Eden Project. The green haven has had a significant positive impact on biodiversity, creating more opportunities for people to connect with nature.

Construction of Europe’s tallest and most technically sophisticated purpose-built commercial lab building has started on site at Canary Wharf, London.
