Brian De’ath, director of residential sales at Canary Wharf Group, said: “We are thrilled to have topped out at One Park Drive.

“The development is our signature building at Wood Wharf and is set to become a new icon of the London skyline, offering the best in city and riverside living. It is an incredibly impressive structure and a real contrast to the traditional skyscrapers of Canary Wharf.”
