Visa Europe Relocates to One Canada Square

18 December 2025

Visa Europe is leasing 300,000 sq ft of space on a 15-year term at One Canada Square.

The digital payment provider will relocate its European headquarters from Paddington to Canary Wharf from the summer of 2028. Canary Wharf is already home blue chip companies such as JPMorgan Chase, Barclays, HSBC and Morgan Stanley.

The Canary Wharf Group has leased more than 750,000 sq ft of office space in 2025, marking its best office leasing year in more than a decade.

“Relocating our European headquarters marks a significant investment in our people and a bold next step for Visa in Europe,” said Antony Cahill, Regional President and CEO, Visa Europe. “Our new home at One Canada Square will provide an open, modern and welcoming environment for our clients and partners. Digital payments power economies right across Europe. This exciting next step will better position us to pioneer the future of payments, giving Europeans access to world-class payment experiences while being offered the highest levels of security, resilience and reliability.”

Shobi Khan, CEO of Canary Wharf Group added: “Canary Wharf continues to attract a diverse range of global businesses. We are delighted to welcome Visa who have chosen the Wharf for their European headquarters as the best location to support their business growth. Our first-rate connectivity, world-class amenities and vibrant community make us an exceptional environment where businesses can establish and grow. Visa joins a fintech community of more than 65 companies ranging from innovative startups to global leaders in our growing tech and AI community. This diverse customer base reflects our evolution into a thriving mixed-use district that supports customers at every stage of their journey.”
