Canada Water Area Guide & Local Information: Canada Water is within the Rotherhithe and Surrey Quays peninsula and is home to a Jubilee Line Station, just one stop from Canary Wharf. The area is within the London Borough of Southwark, forming part of Docklands south of the river. Historically and appropriately named ‘Canada Water’, ships arriving at the docks here hailed from Canada. Nowadays, the area surrounding the water is a mixture of residential and commercial buildings centred around shops and the Canada Water Station.
Canada Water, Surrey Quays and Rotherhithe all have a nautical, architectural and innovative construction history. The Mayflower ship started its historic voyage to America from nearby Rotherhithe in 1620. Its namesake, one of the oldest, if not the oldest, pubs in London, The Mayflower, is still popular with visitors and locals today.
Despite the engineering and logistical challenges, Brunel created the first under-river tunnel in the world, running from nearby Rotherhithe to Wapping.
The tunnel opened to the public in 1843 and remained a vital link between the north and south riverbanks. Much of the area is now going through a phase of rapid development to create a new urban centre. Up to 3,500 new homes will be delivered by developers, offering affordable homes and various housing types, tenures, sizes, and price points. There will also be significant new public spaces for play, events, and external dining, and you can already find the Surrey Quays Shopping Centre a few minutes away. Commuting and travelling around London from Canada Water is simple.
The Jubilee Line is in Zone 2, providing fast connections to Stratford, Canary Wharf, Westminster and Bond Street. There is also local access to river bus services from Greenland Surrey Quays Pier and DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London - Docklands Riverside. In addition, London City Airport can be reached in around 20 minutes by car and rail, utilising the Jubilee Line and Docklands Light Rail to London City Airport station.
With ongoing development and improvements to infrastructure, retail options and fantastic links to Canary Wharf, Canada Water is desirable.
