DLR Dreams: Our Top 10
YES always to the big ticket attractions in Canary Wharf such as The O2 arena, top notch shopping and restaurants, the greenery of Greenwich across the water…
However, Canary Wharf is now giving both West and East London a run for its money in the art, culture and fitness stakes. Here's whats happening right now, quite a few unmissables:
1. Fancy a ‘floating experience?’ Rent an electric Go Boats or a 'Hot Tugs' and cruise around the Canary Wharf basin like a boss.
2. Sweat is Anthony Joshua’s gym and it is next level. The pro boxer has created class-based training ranging from Boxing, Versa Climbing, Yoga & Pilates, and more.
