Why advertise at Canary Wharf?
An affluent, captive weekday professional audience with very little leakage to other routes.
An affluent professional audience with very little leakage: most people arriving here work in the estate and take the same route twice a day, five days a week. Weekend footfall is comparatively light, so campaigns are usually weighted to the working week rather than run flat.
Canary Wharf sits in zone 2, in Docklands, and is served by DLR, Elizabeth line and Jubilee. Platform formats can be weighted towards a single line; escalator, ticket hall and concourse formats reach everyone passing through.
