VERTUS

Vertus is home to over 2,000 residents who choose a life of ease, closeness and moments they’ll never forget, renting apartments in London’s global neighbourhood, Canary Wharf. Those who settle at 10 George Street, 8 Water Street and Newfoundland enjoy care-free days with sun-soaked terraces, rooftop gardens, communal lounges and a packed programme of social events – among a team dedicated to their experience. In 2026 and early 2027, 40 and 50-60 Charter Street will introduce 1,300 new homes to Vertus. Canary Wharf’s neighbourhood connects Vertus buildings. It’s alive with shops, bars, restaurants, sports venues, green spaces, a GP and primary school, complemented by the calming waters of the historic docks. Guests can choose to stay in Vertus Edit, Canary Wharf’s new aparthotel for a shorter and flexible, unforgettable visit to London. Vertus prides itself on being “the one you spend time, share moments and feel great with”. The brand strives for perfection in everything it does, so residents and guests feel they truly belong. Each apartment is made by CWG and managed by Team Vertus, the landlord based in the neighbourhood.
