We think this practical apartment is perfect for business travellers. Not only is there a desk in the lounge ideal for remote working, but it's just one stop away on the Jubilee Line from Canary Wharf. The design is simple, but it has all the essentials for a laid-back stay – a well-appointed kitchen, underfloor heating in the bathroom, and even free parking if you’d rather drive. There's even a little patio perfect for post-sightseeing sundowners. Just note that two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the lounge – not a deal breaker by any means, but it may not be suitable for everyone.

Free parking is available on the premises. That said, we don't think a car is needed here, as Canada Water Station is only a short walk away and has links to central London and beyond.

About Canada Water
It’s hard to believe that just one tube stop away from bustling Canary Wharf, there’s a peaceful neighbourhood known for its ecological richness and London’s largest freshwater lake. This green, serene area is Canada Water, named after the former Canada Dock once used by ships coming in from North America. It was heavily bombed in WWII and subsequently redeveloped in the 1980s.
