Looking out of the huge French window of your Canary Wharf serviced apartment, there is a sight to behold. At a distance in the horizon, the sleek and stylish facade of One Canada Square commands attention; while the river creates a quiet and serene impression amid all the hustle and bustle of one of the busiest areas of London. But whether you are here for business or pleasure, you are sure never to get enough of an area that was once one of the busiest ports in the world. From industrial heritage and thriving urban farms to themed restaurants serving the finest seafood to a glittering array of malls, Canary Wharf comprises different worlds. A stay in any of the serviced apartments or holiday rentals in this captivating area will bring you closer to the myriad aspects of this part of London.

There's So Much to Explore

For those who believe that Canary Wharf is only a business hub leading the financial revolution, a trip to this business district is bound to change that staid, conventional view. A tour of the warehouses around the Docklands gives you a glimpse of the shipbuilding activity of the bygone era. You can try out delicacies at the restaurants and bars in the warehouses, but that's only if you get over the well-preserved interiors of the West India Quay. If the history of the place enthrals you, then take a look at the Museum of London Docklands located in a Georgian warehouse on the banks of the West India Quay. The place is a treasure trove of paintings, artefacts, sculptures and photographs of the area dating back to the Roman era.

After a trip down memory lane, it is time to soak in the sights and sounds of the countryside at the Mudchute Farm. The largest urban farm in the whole of Europe compliments the heat and dust of Canary Wharf perfectly. Like the city, there is plenty to keep you busy during the day - riding horses to spending time with geese, ducks and other farm animals. There is nothing better than a picnic on a bright day.

Once you get back to your serviced apartment, there is plenty that will keep you out. Though the gush of events like movie screenings and comedy nights will keep you busy most of the time, you cannot afford to miss the opportunity to shop at big names like Montblanc and Tiffany & Co., or even let the delectable designs of Topshop and Zara cover you in absolute delight. The rest of the evening can be dedicated to lavish dinners at Plateau Restaurant, Bar and Grill or Scottish surprises at Boisdale.

But if you want to catch up with family and friends, there is always a table ready in your Canary Wharf serviced apartment. For more details on how to book that table and the rest of the apartment, check out http://ratedapartments.com/
