Canary Wharf Group has agreed a deal with Imbiba, the specialist leisure, lifestyle and entertainment investor, to open a 65,000 sq ft hotel, restaurant and music venue at 12 Bank Street.

- A 78-bedroom House of Gods Hotel
- An Amazing Grace music venue

The iconic venue is located adjacent to the new Eden Dock – an urban oasis providing access to the water and green spaces designed to enhance biodiversity at Canary Wharf.
