Wardian London: A Modern Oasis in the Heart of Canary Wharf

Wardian London, designed in collaboration with Glenn Howells Architects, features two striking residential towers with 55 and 50 stories, offering a total of 766 homes. This includes suites, one and two-bedroom apartments, and luxurious penthouses. The towers are easily identified by their expansive wrap-around balconies and sleek profiles, culminating in a two-story podium that hosts a grand lobby, pool, restaurant, and retail spaces. Residents will become members of The Wardian Club, granting them access to exclusive facilities such as a 25-meter open-air swimming pool, gym, cinema, two restaurants, and a double-height rooftop sky garden with mature trees. A 24-hour concierge service is also available.

Inspired by Dr. Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward, Wardian London seeks to blend human design with the natural world. The development integrates a bold architectural exterior with vibrant landscape design, reflecting the pioneering spirit of the Wardian Case used to transport plants globally during the British Empire. International plant experts have curated a collection of over a hundred exotic plant species, including the rare Wollemi Pine, creating a seasonal botanical oasis reminiscent of the palm houses at Kew Gardens.
