Canary Wharf Group plc (CWG) is an integrated property development, investment and management group of companies. It has achieved one of the greatest feats of civic transformation – developing previously derelict docklands into over 16 million square feet of office, retail and leisure space across its iconic business and shopping district in inner London.
In the last two decades it has developed more top-quality office space in London than any other company, helping to position the capital as one of the best places in the world to locate a business.
CWG has developed more than 240 shops, bars, cafes and restaurants at Canary Wharf, including many of the world’s leading brands. It runs over 100 performing arts and events annually, most of which are free. More than 60 art works by 45 artists and designers are on public display throughout the Estate.
