Wardian London is an ultra-luxury residential complex located in the Millwall close to the Canary Wharf estate from Eco World-Ballymore and designed by architect firm Glenn Howells. The scheme consists of two skyscrapers that completed in 2020, is one of the tallest residential developments in London and the United Kingdom.

With over 70% of the flats priced at over £1.5 million, and penthouses priced at over £5 million, Wardian London is considered to be the most expensive residential development in East London. Occupants will also be members of The Wardian Club and have exclusive access to amenities including 24 hours concierge, spa & gym, 25-metre heated swimming pool, cinema, business centre, restaurants, shops and observation deck.

In 2023, Wardian was awarded the Silver Award for Best Luxury Development at the What House? Awards, as a recognition of EcoWorld Ballymore's emphasis on biophilia at the scheme and a celebration of its efforts in introducing nature to a dense built environment.

Prior to the current scheme, developer Ballymore had been granted planning permission for a 525,000 sq ft office development on the same site. This proposal consisted of two towers of 26 and 16 storeys. Building work got as far as completing part of the basement before Ballymore abandoned the scheme due to a lack of tenancy agreements.

In 2013, Ballymore applied for new planning permission for two, residential-led towers designed by Glenn Howells Architects in the Isle of Dogs, just south of Canary Wharf. The scheme was granted planning permission on 6 November 2014 by councillors at Tower Hamlets council.

The two towers are 55 and 50 storeys. The East Tower is the larger of the two skyscrapers and rises to 187.2 m (614 ft) in height while the West Tower reaches 168.1 m (552 ft), making them two of the tallest residential buildings approved in London and in the United Kingdom. The skyscrapers are linked at their base by a podium. In total, the development will provide 766 residential apartments.

In 2015, the development name was changed from Arrowhead Quay to Wardian London.
