About Poplar
Situated in the Docklands of East London, Poplar is one of the oldest areas of London and is perfectly positioned close to the vibrant business district of Canary Wharf. It has become a great office location for businesses that want quick access to one of the prime financial districts of the city with great accessibility and nearby facilities.
Over recent years, this area has seen a number of developments and regeneration projects take place. Former industrial sites have become residential properties, private offices and business premises. It is a desirable area with business owners who want quick access to the likes of Bank or Tower Gateway, both just ten minutes away by DLR, as well as Lewisham which can be accessed in 25 minutes. This area remains part of the Port of London, with the Northumberland Wharf continuing as a working wharf. But the area is also home to telecommunication companies, solicitors and e-commerce agencies as well.
