Columbus Courtyard itself is a bit of a hidden gem. You find it after taking a wrong turn looking for Pret, and suddenly you’re in a quiet piazza surrounded by bankers with briefcases. Bupa is right there, tucked between the juice bars and the posh suit shops. It’s convenient for a pre-work scale and polish—though I wouldn’t recommend the polish right before a big meeting.
And the best part? After you’re done, you can wander out and grab a proper coffee and a pastry from one of the nearby cafes. Nothing says “I survived the dentist” like a flaky almond croissant and a flat white. It’s your reward for adulting.
The Verdict: Go Before You Need To
Look, nobody wants to go to the dentist. But if you’re in Canary Wharf and you’ve been avoiding that twinge or that “maybe-I-should-floss-more” feeling, Bupa Dental Care at Columbus Courtyard is the place. It’s the dental equivalent of a friend who drives you to the airport—reliable, slightly boring, but immensely appreciated.
You’ll walk out with cleaner teeth, a funny story about the hygienist who told you your gums are “regal,” and zero regret. Just don’t forget your Oyster card. And maybe brush your tongue before you go. You know, for solidarity.
