About

Canada Water sits at the intersection of the Surrey Quays and Rotherhithe peninsulas. The area is defined by its large freshwater lake and wildlife reserve, created from a former dock. Surrounding this are residential developments, a major transport interchange, and retail spaces including the Canada Water Library and the attached Canada Water Culture Space.

The area's history as part of the Surrey Commercial Docks is evident in street names and the remaining dock basin. It functions as a significant commuter hub with connections via the Jubilee line and London Overground. Ongoing large-scale regeneration projects continue to reshape its landscape with new buildings and public squares.
