We're backing independent businesses in Wood Wharf 📍 This week we welcomed Councillor Musthak Ahmed and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets team to 8 Harbord Square in Wood Wharf, to celebrate something we're genuinely excited about - our growing community of independent retailers. At 8 Harbord Square each business has been chosen for what makes them different: their authenticity, their connection to Tower Hamlets and the wider community, and the unique offering they bring to our residents, visitors and workers. Malaysian flavours at Ong Lai Kopitiam. Countryside-inspired blooms at The Flower Club. Authentic Japanese baking at Cafe Seek. Boutique nail care at Awe London. Bespoke pet grooming and spa at Pawsome. A brilliant blow dry at Wayne's Salon. And a few more in the works, a community of great brands is growing. This project isn't just about leasing traditional retail space - it's about building a community based on independence, authenticity and real connection. Working with LBTH, we're creating something that reflects the character of the people who live and work in our wider community 🤝 Head down to Wood Wharf, past Union Square, to meet the people behind these businesses and become part of their success story. #LoveTowerHamlets

It's been one whole year since the opening of Eden Dock, can you believe it? 🌿🌊 Designed as an urban oasis, a place for people and nature in the heart of the Wharf in an ambitious partnership with world-leading charity the Eden Project, Eden Dock has become not just a thriving home for nature but a community hub where people can connect, breathe and relax. Let's look back at some of what Eden Dock has seen in its first year 👀 🥽 4,500 open water swims 🛶 2,913 SUPs and kayaks 🐣 Eight nesting waterbird families 🤝 Impactful community projects with local schools and creative groups 👑 The Big Lunch with Her Majesty the Queen 🎭 An incredible programme of theatre, music, sculpture and light-art 🏆Won one and been shortlisted for a further eight awards 🎥Four live broadcasts from CNBC, BBC News, ITV and CNN To celebrate this week, local florist The Flower Club who are based in Harbord Square Wood Wharf, has given our famous couple from the "Nature Rising" art installation a bit of birthday glam, make sure you get your birthday selfies before they're gone! From everyone at CWG, we'd like to thank each and every person who's got involved with Eden Dock's activities and events this year, or even if you've simply sat down to have your lunch by the waterside or relaxed with a good book, we're so incredibly glad you're enjoying the space 💚

From Site to Studio 🏗️👩🎨 As Recycle Week comes to a close, we're proud to share a remarkable circularity story of London based artist Niamh Hannaford and some unlikely construction waste. Using donated waste from our Wood Wharf construction site, Niamh turned something that would once have been at the end of it's life cycle, into something beautiful. This innovative approach perfectly embodies our vision of creating a circular community at Canary Wharf - where materials find new purpose rather than reaching landfill. Niamh's practice centres on giving discarded materials new life, creating large sculptural works that challenge perceptions about waste and value. Her recent MFA degree show at Goldsmiths University featured the materials donated from our site, showcasing how a circular community approach can connect local creators with resources that would otherwise be wasted. Partnerships like these illustrate the true power of circular thinking - where one project's waste becomes another's inspiration, creating value that extends far beyond our neighbourhood.

It's always a great day when we can celebrate our colleagues' triumphs 🎉 Today we're happy to share that CWG has won the Internal Engagement Award at the Supply Chain Sustainability School (UK) Summit 🏗️🌿♻️ Out of their 220 partner organisations, we're incredibly proud to be recognised for our internal ESG engagement, as we have always believed that internal engagement builds the foundation for authentic action. 🤝 From hosting a wide range of training modules on Workday and developing our own CWG-specific ESG training module "Climate Change and Carbon", to contributing to the school's climate groups including the Nature Recovery Group and organising and delivering impactful workshops and webinars - it's incredible to see that every effort from our colleagues has made a difference. This recognition highlights what we already knew: meaningful ESG progress starts from within. While it's important to communicate our sustainability commitments externally, the real transformation happens when every team member understands their role in creating positive change. Congratulations to Yohannah Caussyram and Olivia Phillips, MIEMA, CEnv for their work in championing the importance of internal engagement. Their dedication shows that sustainable change is a collective effort, built one engaged colleague at a time.
