Canary Wharf London: what's on and things to do

The estate is privately owned and unusually well programmed for it: a free roof garden under glass, a winter light festival in January, and an ice rink between the towers. All of it is a short walk from the Elizabeth line.

What to expect

3 listings ahead in Canary Wharf. The busiest rooms are Canada Square Park, Canary Wharf and Crossrail Place. Mostly Seasonal and Sport.

Each venue above has its own page with its address, its opening hours and every date we hold for it.
