We think it’s fair to say that Galliard’s upcoming Baltimore Tower has prompted more discussion on architectural design than any other recent development in the Canary Wharf area. Baltimore Tower is due for completion towards the very end of 2016, with most units completing in 2017.
Now is the right time to start thinking about renting in Baltimore Tower, getting advice from your letting agent whether you are a landlord in Baltimore Tower, or are looking for properties to rent in Baltimore Tower.

Pan Peninsula, South Quay E14.
Iconic? Yes.
Sought after? Yes.
These are quite 'estate agenty' words aren't they? Perhaps too estate agenty for us, as true as they are.

DLR: Blackwall is well served by the Docklands Light Railway: Blackwall station itself, East India and Poplar. DLR trains run every 3-4 minutes at peak times.
Tube: There isn’t a tube station located within the area itself, but just one stop away east from East India DLR is Canning Town station which connects you to the Jubilee line. Alternatively, go west on the DLR for a connection to the Central line at Bank.
Bus: The D7 service connects Blackwall to wider east London, via Canary Wharf. Whilst the 277 will take you all the way to Highbury & Islington, and the 15 to Charing Cross, via Aldgate and St. Paul’s. The N550 night bus from Trafalgar Square also passes through the area before terminating at Canning Town station.
Airport: Getting away from it all couldn’t be easier with London City Airport just a few stops away on the DLR or a few minutes by cab.

Last Wednesday we thought it was a good idea to have a drink to celebrate the launch of Proper Local. And indeed, it was a good idea.
At The George (a proper local pub of course) friends, colleagues and partners came together to drink stuff and have fun. And we really did.

Some of you might have noticed that there's precious little bird poop in Canary Wharf, and we're going to explain why.
This is Lemmy (the little chap on the right) and he is a Harris Hawk. If you work in Canary Wharf you might have seen him around, either up in the skies, or exactly as you see him now, on Paul's arm (he's the chap on the left).
Lemmy's job is to keep the birds away. Have a think, when was the last time you saw a pigeon in Canary Wharf?

Let’s be frank, the Isle of Dogs doesn’t have a ‘centre’ as such, and it certainly doesn’t have a High Street, so with no obvious place start a day or night out on the Isle of Dogs we’re going to have point you in the right direction.
