IN A NUTSHELL
Funky bar/restaurant proves to be a popular newcomer in the heart of Canary Wharf.
The long wait came to an end two weeks ago when the Park Pavilion in Canada Square, finally saw its first leisure venues open their doors.
The frontage of One Canada Square has been transformed, and paying customers have been sampling the two newest additions to the Canary Wharf restaurant and bar scene, the Parlour and Canteen.
Canary Wharf's newest bar is getting ready to open and the woman behind it is confident it will appeal to Wharfers' sense of quirkiness.

If you're struggling to find a place to unwind tonight, why not try the Wetherspoons International Real Ale Festival?
The event will run at bars including West India Quay's Ledger Building from today until Monday May 4.
