First Look: Locke London Canary Wharf to open this May

Lifestyle hotel brand Locke is to open it sixth London property this May in Canary Wharf.

Locke London Canary Wharf is located on the waterfront and offers 279 rooms and suites across 19 floors, designed by London and Hong Kong-based interior design studio Holloway Li with a light mid-century touch.

Rooms range from the city-studio river view to the accessible one bedroom open plan suite.

Stuart Fyfe, managing director of retail, leisure and hospitality at CWG, added: “Locke is a fantastic addition to Canary Wharf’s hospitality offering; giving workers, visitors, and customers a wider range of options to stay in Canary Wharf. Locke’s high-end design aesthetic and positive approach to modern hospitality perfectly complement the area’s evolution as one of London’s most exciting destinations. We’re committed to bringing best-in-class brands and experiences to Canary Wharf, and Locke absolutely delivers on that. We’re thrilled to welcome them."
