Canary Wharf has some unusual events worth trying
Canary Wharf never gets much of a mention in London guidebooks, which shows how behind the times most guidebooks are.
I’m also pretty sure that unless you work there you probably never think of going out there either. You probably think it’s still just a lot of office blocks and not much else.
What you don’t realise is that there are some good restaurants there but more importantly they have some excellent events around there, that if they were in central London you would definitely want to go to.
This coming Tuesday is a very good example, have you heard about the cycle race that is happening around a circuit at Canary Wharf? Of course not, yet with the London weather still set to be good, this will be a great event to go and watch.
Basically what they’re going to be doing is having a high speed race around a short circuit with various sprints in the race. As far as I know this is the first time it’s been held so no one knows exactly how it will go, but cycle sprinting is one of the most incredible sights to see in sport.
When cyclists are going at full speed you won’t believe the sound and speed. Also what’s good about this event is that the race starts at 7pm and is only on for an hour so it fits nicely into the evening.
If you want to experience the whole thing and maybe get some signatures of riders get there for 6pm as the riders will be warming up and doing signings from then. Click Tour Series at Canary Wharf for more info and then scroll down that page until you get to the Tour Series link.
If you’re not going to go to this event would you have gone if it was in central London?
