FACTSHEET INTRODUCTION EcoWorld and Ballymore are thrilled to present Wardian London, one of the most visionary projects London has seen in recent years. In the last thirty years Canary Wharf has been transformed, and remarkably so. Guided by one of the boldest redevelopment masterplans the world has seen, it has now surpassed the City of London as Europe’s leading financial district. Wardian London will be part of this success story. Combining modern architecture with innovative landscaping, it sets a new standard for the high-rise living experience – put simply, a tranquil haven of nature in the heart of London’s new financial centre. The unique partnership between EcoWorld and Ballymore is behind some of the most notable buildings in London. 2 THE VISION WARDIAN CASE WARDIAN The towers’ design has been inspired by the work of one Londoner, the great explorer, botanist, and inventor, Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward. A doctor by trade, he changed the world with his botanical glass container, the deceptively simple-looking ‘Wardian case’, and while contemporary renderings of that aesthetic are a defining feature of Wardian, the influence goes beyond the mere visible. The vision for Wardian is to take inspiration from his curiosity, his spirit of adventure and his sense of precision, and to create the most exciting new development in the British capital. 3 THE VISION In the midst of the skyscrapers and waterways of Canary Wharf, Wardian London offers an oasis of nature. Comprising two iconic apartment towers, a new address like no other, a haven of peace and beauty in the heart of London.

The formal, bold lines of a visionary man-made geometry are complemented by the organic, verdant shapes of nature. On the skyline, beheld from a distance, the two modernist-influenced towers are striking yet simple, refined and yet ambitious, with a glimpse of green hinting at the wonders within. As the entrance is approached, Wardian’s stunning botanical features and architectural details begin to reveal themselves. This is a feast for the senses, especially for residents, who benefit from apartment and garden designs maximised to achieve the best possible use of space and light. The ethos of discovery meets the promise of an oasis of tranquility in the new centre of London. 5 TRANSPORT LINKS Hyde Park Westfield 31 min Stratford City St Pancras 11 min International Victoria Park Trains to France, Belgium 26 min and The Netherlands 24 min Olympic Park City of London 29 min 12 min London City Airport Bond Street 20 min 14 min Buckingham O2 Arena Palace 6 min 23 min Royal Tate TRAVEL TIMES BY TUBE TIMES BY TRAVEL Observatory Modern 20 min 17 min Heathrow Thames Barrier International Park Airport 24 min 39 min TRANSPORT LINKS JOURNEY TIMES FROM HERON QUAYS Source: Transport for London OVERGROUND – Canary Wharf train station offering Limehouse 6 mins immediate access to the underground and the DLR line is within a 6 minute walk.
