Eden BankLondon

Eden Bank in Canary Wharf is a great example of how thoughtful lighting can transform an area into a welcoming public destination. Now enjoyed by office workers throughout the day and local residents in the evening, this waterside space offers a calm and inviting atmosphere that encourages people to stop, sit, relax, and take in their surroundings.

Kemps Architectural Lighting was proud to support the project by supplying our Flexus 3 and Proteus M linear LED products as specified. Chosen for their clean lines and quality of light, these luminaires deliver warm, consistent, high-quality illumination that enhances key features across the space while creating a comfortable ambiance after dark. The result is a lighting scheme that feels both functional and atmospheric, helping Eden Bank become a genuinely warm and inviting place to spend time by the water.

Credit goes to Studio Fractal for their lighting design and to the Architects, Howells and HTA for their innovative design and to Arup for the structural and electrical engineering design.

Great work also to PIP Electrical for the installation, delivering the scheme with excellent attention to detail and a high standard of finish.

Product Overview

For this landmark public realm scheme, Kemps supplied over 700 metres of our high-performance Proteus M and Flexus 3 LED solutions, carefully integrated throughout the landscape to enhance both safety and atmosphere. Our lighting has been expertly installed into the tiered seating, stair handrails, pedestrian bridges, and the kick rails along the water’s edge, delivering a seamless, architectural finish that complements the modern surroundings.

A consistent warm white 2700K colour temperature has been used across the entire project, creating a soft golden glow that feels welcoming and comfortable, perfect for evenings in the city. The result is a space that feels inviting, calm, and premium, encouraging the local community and office workers to relax, gather, and enjoy Eden Bank well into the night.

With Proteus M and Flexus 3 working together across multiple application areas, Kemps Lighting has helped create a stunning waterside location in the heart of Canary Wharf, bringing the architecture and landscape to life with elegant, understated illumination.
