Living in Canary Wharf offers a dynamic urban experience. The area boasts a plethora of upscale restaurants and trendy bars, providing diverse dining and nightlife options. Transport is highly convenient with the Jubilee Line, DLR, and upcoming Elizabeth Line ensuring swift connections across the city. The district is clean, modern, and safe, with ample green spaces and waterfront views. Shopping and amenities are abundant, making daily life easy and enjoyable. However, it can feel a bit corporate! Overall, Canary Wharf is perfect for professionals seeking a vibrant, well-connected, and upscale living environment.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Yes, very prompt with all maintenance issues. The building management has consistently shown excellent responsiveness to problems raised by residents. They handle maintenance requests efficiently and resolve issues promptly, ensuring a comfortable living experience. This proactive approach by the management adds significant value to the overall resident experience.

One aspect to consider about living here that might not be evident during a viewing is the windiness of the area. Due to the high-rise buildings and proximity to the water, the wind can be quite strong, making outdoor activities less pleasant at times and potentially affecting balcony use. It's something residents often notice only after moving in.

Feedback on Harvey Thrower of Vertus I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all of Harvey’s help in finding the perfect rental property within Newfoundland, Canary Wharf for me. His professionalism, patience, and expertise were evident throughout the entire process, and I truly appreciate the time and effort he dedicated to ensuring that I found a place that met all of my needs. Harvey’s attention to detail and prompt responses made the process much smoother and less stressful (which was no easy task doing it whilst I was still in Australia and with a 10-hour time difference), and I genuinely felt supported every step of the way. It's rare to encounter someone so committed to delivering such excellent service, and I am so grateful for his assistance. Harvey’s commitment to his job is second to none. I will certainly recommend Vertus to anyone in need of a rental in the future. As an organisation, Vertus should be proud to have such an advocate, he is a great representative which I am sure will continue to deliver for your business. He represents the reason that I wanted to return to Newfoudland as a home for the next couple of years. Thank you Harvey!

Living in Canary Wharf is almost ideal. Great transport links, clean streets, lots of shops and restaurants. The only downside is a lack of green space which can make living there difficult for some.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

They're difficult to deal with and often take weeks to respond to reasonable questions. They'll also very likely do nothing unless the tenants in the building start a petition. They don't care.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

They will try to get as much money from your deposit as possible. Make sure you document everything and take all reasonable measures to do DYI touch ups before you move out. They're impossible to reason with and come back with nonsensical arguments to waste your time.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Convenient is the best way to describe Canary Wharf. Excellent transport links, dining options, and other amenities. But the more things they open the busier and louder it gets. And without a park or other open space there is no chance to relax. It's a place for professionals, not for a family.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Incredibly slow responses and often with reasonable questions outright ignored.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Go through the apartment with a magnifying glass and take a photo of absolutely everything as part of check-in to protect yourself and your deposit. It seems excessive and aggressive claims on deposits are part of their business strategy.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The area is often overcrowded, which makes it feel more like an impersonal business district rather than a comfortable place to call home -- especially during Winter Lights period where you can feel the Wharf is going to sink! The constant flow of people and traffic outside can make the environment feel hectic, even if you’re in your apartment. You will also have tons of instagram model wannabe and random teenagers smoking pots around your home and drunk shoplifters raiding alcohol from Amazon Fresh.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Vertus has been shockingly unresponsive. I raised multiple issues, from utilities bills (you will be charged way more than you should) to refund of deposits (took me 6 months), and they either ignored or delayed every response. When they did finally get back to me, it was with vague, unhelpful answers. It’s clear they have no interest in addressing tenant concerns or maintaining the property properly.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I really wish I had known about the constant noise and overcrowding in the area, especially during events like Winter Lights. It makes the environment feel chaotic and impersonal, with traffic, large crowds, and groups of people hanging around the building. It’s definitely not the peaceful, quiet place I was expecting.
