The structure and style of your workspace is fundamental to your business’s ability to grow as well as your team’s productivity, but structure applies to both the physical office environment and the terms of your lease. That’s where Canary Wharf offers something unique, because we don’t just have office buildings – we have an entire Estate and community to invite you into.

This is a place that’s designed for a business’s full lifecycle from start-up to global leader. When you choose your first space, be it an entire building or a single desk on a coworking floor, we will help you think about the years ahead as well: Where is your business going? What might you need? How can we help you plan your journey and make sure the right space is available when you need it? The ability for your business to evolve within Canary Wharf is reflected both in our range of workspaces and in our lease options.

A workspace for every business

Businesses need different things at different stages of their growth, as well as varying from one industry to another. We all need access to top talent, perhaps to investment, and we all benefit from the opportunity to discuss our ideas and get different perspectives from time to time. That agility, flexibility, variety and community are all reflected in Canary Wharf and its array of different types of office spaces.

Coworking spaces

The way we work has evolved a lot in recent years, with businesses encompassing full-time employees, office based workers, remote workers, freelancers and more. Finding those people and fostering collaboration and innovation amongst them is essential, and that can make the community mindset and facilities of state-of-the-art coworking spaces a powerful combination.

Our coworking start-up office spaces, like Level 39, with its tech community, have been established as environments to house and support fast growth companies. This enables members to develop by facilitating access to talent, funding, partnerships and customers.

L39 has everything you need including:

• Hot desking, coworking, serviced offices and virtual membership options
• Ultra-fast wireless internet
• A community Space39 cafe
• Bookable meeting rooms and event spaces

As a result, you can feel confident welcoming team members and clients to your workspace. They’re also available on flexible, short-term contracts, so when you’re ready to scale up to a larger space, it’s easy.

Hot desking

Within our start-up spaces you have the option to hot desk, which means that even if you only have one or two members of staff you can surround yourself with other inspiring people and organisations on a similar journey to your own.

Hot desking offers all the benefits of a dedicated office, including the professionalism that you want to convey in your services, along with flexibility and opportunities for networking and collaboration. However, you avoid the overhead or commitment of long leases and spaces that are the size you anticipate for two or three years down the line. The managed space also has the logistics of cleaning and waste management built into the arrangement.

Features include:

• Serviced offices and virtual membership options
• Spacious and private meeting rooms
• Comfortable communal areas
• Ultra-fast Wi-Fi
• Being part of a community of other professionals

Flexible workspaces

With the built-in adaptability to meet the evolving needs of modern businesses, our flexible workspaces in Canary Wharf range from start-up spaces like L39 to fully fitted, furnished and managed offices under MadeFor:.

Offering flexibility in all aspects, from the number of desks you need on any given day to the layout itself, the ability to adapt the way the space works for you is an important part of modern offices. Modular design and different types of workspaceswithin the office enable team members to move around during the working day, which supports wellbeing and productivity. It can enable reconfiguration and multi-purpose use for client meetings, events or team collaboration. Meanwhile, in the longer term, an agile environment makes it easier for your business to grow in size and process. It can also mean creating environments where individuals can adapt their personal space for the task at hand or even personal needs like neurodiversity.

Flexible workspaces are a hallmark of contemporary, forward-thinking, future-proofed businesses, allowing for different ways of working, personal preferences, video calls, independent working, collaborative working and more.

Lab space

Healthcare and life sciences are amongst the fastest growing sectors in the world. However, one of the challenges facing the field has been a dearth of incubator lab space that allows innovators to develop their ideas in an environment that also fosters investment and growth opportunities. Canary Wharf’s 20 Water Street location has already established the estate as a centre of excellence for scientific innovation. This will be extended with the development of North Quay by 2026, offering a hub to rival any in Europe.

Created in partnership with Kadans, the largest developer in the life sciences sector, as well as Bart’s Hospital and Queen Mary University of London, the additional space will provide world-leading facilities and the organisational structure to give start-ups and scale-ups the space and capabilities to grow both scientifically and entrepreneurially. In this game-changing environment, businesses can take a single laboratory bench and grow all the way through to building a vast HQ building with the same landlord, enjoying the same consistency and quality of service all the way through.

Facilities include:

• 823,000 sq. ft. Of space
• Energy efficient MEP system
• Highly efficient photo voltaic panels
• Fully fitted, flexible wet-labs
• Lab space with city views
• 10 gigabyte cables deliver super fast broadband
• 100,000 genome project facilitated from Bart’s Campus

Catering to unique office and business needs

At Canary Wharf all of our offices have been developed with modern working practices and team wellbeing in mind, combining the best of form and function to help your business grow.

However, we consider offices as much more than spaces to work in:

• We think of the existing and ongoing needs of businesses both in relation to their specific organisation and the wider working world.
• We create shared, ready-to-go workspaces that are designed to help businesses grow, as well as custom fit-outs that meet specific requirements.
• We encourage and create networking opportunities to support business development and individual career goals. Our free Out of Office Society and Wharf Talks series are just a couple of examples that help attract talent and nurture long-term business success.

That said, what we offer goes beyond the working environment, or even the working day itself, delivering a holistic world of amenities and experiences across the estate to support employees and business owners.

The advantage of working in Canary Wharf

What sets Canary Wharf apart is that we facilitate the community around our offices, from providing services, amenities and education facilities. This attracts, supports and nurtures talent as well as individual careers by creating an inviting destination to spend time in, and making life beyond the office easy for employees with a whole host of shops, facilities and leisure opportunities.

Key attractions include:

• More than 300 retailers spread across five malls
• Over 70 restaurants, bars and cafés
• A roster of more than 100 culturally inspired events each year
• A total of 20 acres of landscaped parks, gardens and verdant squares
