Property of the Week: One Thames Quay

A Distinctive Addition to Canary Wharf

Canary Wharf has long been dubbed as London’s financial skyline or ‘Manhattan-upon-Thames’. The mention of the area evokes images of the peak of Citi Tower blinking red, and rushing crowds of dark suits across Dockland bridges. Yes, this area was once thought of being purely a financial district, but has since made waves as one of London’s most sought-after residential areas. In recent decades, a vibrant array of amenities have been peppered in between the high-rise buildings to accompany the rising volume of home-seekers in the area. As of February 2025, a fresh and future-proofed addition to the Canary Wharf residential portfolio has emerged. One Thames Quay, with one-bedroom apartments starting from £600,000, now celebrates its arrival to the area and is ready to hand over some keys.

Future-Proof Living

As sustainability becomes an increasingly important factor in all areas of residential living—from the outfits in our wardrobe to our modes of travel—One Thames Quay has made sustainability a central promise in the development’s offering. It's the first to feature 100% clean integrated energy systems, using zero fossil fuels for heating or cooling and emitting no carbon emissions. Allowing the building to maintain an impressively low carbon footprint, these energy systems are powered entirely by renewable energy sources.

Energy consumption is further reduced for residents through the use of triple-glazed windows to retain heat, and rainwater harvesting systems that collect water from the roof for landscaping irrigation. The eco-consciousness doesn’t stop at the energy systems; this thought goes back to the hiring of the building’s design teams. The bright apartment spaces had input from BoxNine7, Britain’s first B-Corp-certified interior design collective. Additionally, there are EV charging points and bicycle storage to support a low-carbon lifestyle.

Elevated Fitness and Skyline Socials

One Thames Quay is home to 263 apartments with one to three bedrooms, each offering views over the O2 and the River Thames. The private balconies offer a peaceful spot to enjoy a morning latte while diving into the next pages of your current read. However if these panoramic views from the apartment aren’t enough, take the lift a step higher to the 46th floor. Here you’ll have access to 360-degree vantage points over London, stretching from the notable architecture of The City to the Royal Park in Greenwich.

On this level, the 5,795 sq.ft. space is divided into four dedicated zones. One is a fully equipped sky gym that will elevate your workouts, with equipment supporting routines from weightlifting to cardio and yoga. Another is a lush rooftop garden, perfect for summer evenings, alongside a residents' sky lounge. This chic, contemporary space, with its marble floors, artistic rugs, and abstract art, offers the ideal setting to enjoy cocktails at the sleek bar with friends, or to relax and unwind, whether alone or with neighbouring residents. Lastly, the pavilion space features a bookable private dining room for upscale hosting and celebrations, as well as a hot-desking area for working from home with a view.

Skittles, Snooker and Screenings

The alfresco children’s playground isn't the only amusement on the second floor of One Thames Quay. Home to Canary Wharf’s only private bowling alley, where you can sharpen your strikes from your apartment building. The games room also boasts a table football and pool table, ideal for gathering friends and hosting the pub night from home.

Speaking of hosting, the second floor also features a media room with an adjoining kitchen. Available to book, it’s a great spot to catch the latest episode of your favourite show, stream the big game, or rewatch your comfort film on the big screen, with fresh buttered popcorn prepared next door.

Soft Designs and Subtle Touches

The slender tower structure of One Thames Quay has been designed by Make Architects, the same powerhouse studio behind Harrods’ most recent programme of refurbishments. Their designs have been optimised by the Design Delivery Unit and Chalegrove Properties, and the building’s foundation integrates vertical bronze panelling and brushed copper details. This is a nod back to the brick warehouses and cranes that once stood in the area during Canary Wharf’s days as one of the busiest docks in the world.

The apartments themselves are bathed in natural light, creating an open and airy atmosphere. The interiors blend soft, modern design with bold contemporary patterns for a refined yet distinctive look. The bespoke kitchens feature a marble-effect splash-back that echoes the floor-to-ceiling tiling in the generously sized bathrooms, adding a polished touch of elegance throughout.

From Home Office to Head Office

Whatever your work routine—whether fully remote, full-time in the office, or hybrid—One Thames Quay offers an environment that supports any work-life balance, with excellent work-from-home amenities and seamless transport links to the rest of the city. In addition to the co-working area on the 46th floor, the second-floor lifestyle facilities feature a wrap-around canopy garden with sheltered seating areas, designed for working outdoors. As the weather warms, take a seat outside with your laptop during the workday to boost productivity and reduce stress.

With private outdoor space becoming a top priority for London buyers, having an outdoor area specifically designed for work is a unique and practical feature. For those working in the office outside Canary Wharf, One Thames Quay is a 10-minute walk from Canary Wharf Underground, with the fast-moving Elizabeth Line providing direct access to The City and the West End. Even closer is the DLR station, only a three-minute walk away, offering easy connections to both London Heathrow and London City airports, both reachable within 40 minutes for stress-free domestic and international flights.

Remaining apartments at One Thames Quay range from 576 to 1,053 sq.ft. Prices start from £600,000. For Sales Enquires call +44 (0) 20 3912 8370 or email [email protected]
