The Parlour

Drake & Morgan's Canary Wharf outpost occupies the Park Pavilion on Canada Square — a bar and restaurant that splits between a timber-panelled cocktail lounge, a spacious main dining area, and one of Docklands' larger alfresco terraces, complete with its own bar and fire pits. Full exclusive hire takes capacity to 650 guests across indoor and outdoor spaces, making The Parlour one of the few Canary Wharf venues that handles everything from an intimate 38-person dinner to a major corporate event without feeling like it's straining.

A Garden in the City

The design leans into a secret-garden theme that softens the corporate edges of the E14 postcode. The cocktail lounge has the feel of an indoor conservatory — timber panels, botanical touches, low lighting — while the terrace brings the greenery genuinely outdoors with views across Canada Square Park. For events that need Canary Wharf convenience without Canary Wharf sterility, the combination works. It reads as stylish and considered rather than chain-restaurant corporate, despite the Drake & Morgan branding.

All-Week Flexibility at The Parlour

Monday to Sunday availability is an underrated advantage in Docklands. Many Canary Wharf venues restrict event hire to specific days or operate limited weekend hours. The Parlour opens all week, which means mid-week corporate entertaining and weekend private celebrations are equally straightforward to book. Mixology masterclasses, seasonal menus, and a late licence (until midnight, with extensions) give planners the building blocks without needing external suppliers.

Canary Wharf, Connected

The venue sits moments from Canary Wharf station, served by the Jubilee line, Elizabeth line, and DLR. For teams spread across east London and the City, and for guests arriving from outside London via the Elizabeth line, it's one of the more accessible Docklands addresses. Canada Square Park and the wider Canary Wharf estate provide pre- and post-event options, from waterfront walks to the growing restaurant scene across the development.
