Why I live in Canary Wharf: Comedian Eleanor Conway on why her part of London is 'soulless...but I love it'

I moved here in 2021 because I got a bargain rental as we were coming out of lockdown.

I’ll be honest: Canary Wharf wouldn’t have been my first choice. It’s like Milton Keynes, but with less personality. (I’m from Milton Keynes). It’s completely soulless, unless the soul is money.

But actually, I’ve fallen in love with the place.

I used to live in Shoreditch. I think in many ways Canary Wharf is more honest and more real. Shoreditch pretends to be cool and trendy, but the reality.
