Canary Wharf

London's wharf has played an integral part in the development of the city. For many years, Canary Wharf was one of the busiest harbours in the world, but that is no longer the case. The blue jumpsuits have since been replaced by tailored suits and Italian shoes — but here at Sticks’n’Sushi, we have done our best to pay homage to the life that once existed right outside our doors in Canary Wharf. 

RAW INDUSTRY AND FLOATING DREAM SHIPS 

The Canary Wharf harbour is home to the some of the tallest buildings in Britain: One Canada Square, HSBC Tower, and Citigroup Centre. The history of the city is hidden in the shade of these colossal monuments, where people once loaded and unloaded huge quantities of goods, including fruit imported from the Canary Islands. Hence Canary Wharf’s name, where you will find one of our Sticks’n’Sushi restaurants. 

We opened the doors to our Sticks’n’Sushi Canary Wharf restaurant in 2015, and our menu is served in an installation-like atmosphere. The talented artist, Mie Olise Kjærgaard, has created a series of huge paintings that almost melt into the white walls. Her fairy tale houses and ships are a pleasant contrast with the rawness of the industrial setting. You might find yourself wondering whether the houses are inhabited — or whether they belong to a parallel universe of some sort. 

The long pipes from the building’s docking days still run along the ceiling of the restaurant. The curtains that separate our diners are light and airy, and right outside the windows of our Sticks’n’Sushi restaurant is the harbour of Canary Wharf, glugging to itself. 

Situated in the stunning Crossrail development, our restaurant at Canary Wharf can be accessed directly via the Canada Square Mall and exit at Adams Plaza. Upon exit, you will find the Sticks’n’Sushi restaurant straight ahead after the water feature – or you can access Adams Plaza via the steps opposite 1 Canada Square waterside on North Colonnade.
