The arrival of Zopa in Canary Wharf comes amid a flurry of firms taking space on the estate in what's been the best year for lettings in a decade.
Recently, Canary Wharf Group featured the challenger bank's head of people experience, Emily Dickens, in its Where Ambition Lives campaign.
The initiative spotlights individuals working in Canary Wharf with the aim of celebrating the deep diversity of roles and firms that now call it home.
For Emily and Zopa the attractions of the company's new offices at Water Street on Wood Wharf are many.
Moving east has enabled the bank to fit out a bespoke space packed with features intended to make its employees' lives at work more enjoyable.
You can read Wharf Life's full interview with Emily and find out how she and the team went about that task here:

Orbit Clipper has begun her phased introduction, carrying passengers between Canary Wharf and Rotherhithe.
All-electric, she's thought to be the first cross-river ferry of her kind in the UK and comes with a massive increase in capacity over the existing vessel.
Operated by Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, she can carry 100 bikes and 150 passengers, connecting existing cycle routes over the water with much greater efficiency.
Single journeys can cost as little as £2.87 with a carnet of 20 tickets, purchased digitally.
You can find out more via Wharf Life's interview with Thames Clippers co-founder and CEO Sean Collins here:

JPMorganChase is set to construct London's largest office building overlooking the Thames on the western edge of Canary Wharf.
But, while this decision comes during a blizzard of deals to let space on the estate – featuring the likes of Visa, Deutsche Bank, HSBC and Zopa – this one has been a long time coming.
Although the designs (and times) have changed, the bank bought a 999 year lease on the Riverside South site 17 years ago, finally pausing construction on the original project in 2010.
It opted not to sell the plot in 2015, waiting until 2025 when, having outgrown its existing UK home, the time was right for a reboot.
While Riverside South was the obvious option, that decision will have been made all the easier by Canary Wharf's consistent programme of development and evolution – the results of which are now proving attractive to so many companies.

There aren't many pubs in east London offering pints for under £4.
However, The Craft Beer Co.'s Limehouse venue, The Clement Attlee, does.
Renamed in honour of Britain's post-war Labour prime minister, the pub offers a wide selection of brews from small producers – including The Clem Pale for £3.95 – and food from chef Arturo Camacho.
It's also more than a venue for refreshments. The pub hosts comedy, film nights and regularly screens sporting events.

At a time when the hospitality and tourism industries are in overdrive, delivering Christmases of all shapes and sizes, it's important to recognise the sectors both offer significant opportunity going into 2026.
Recently, Wharf Life sat down with University of Sunderland in London tourism and hospitality lecturer Victoria Wright to talk learning and careers.
From its base on the Isle Of Dogs, a few minutes' walk from Canary Wharf, the campus offers a wide variety of options to those seeking to break into the sectors or to boost their existing careers.
Its courses have a strong focus on employment and feature trips, real-world experience and collaborations with the likes of Arion Tsapis at Springboard.

There's more to Third Space Canary Wharf than cutting-edge classes and its extensive gym floors.
The venue's Recovery Spa is playing an increasingly important in members' training regimes.
The facility has been deliberately refocused around treatments that aid rest, recovery and minimise the risk of injury.
The health club has also launched Recovery Memberships offering regular cryotherapy, red light therapy and sessions on its Vibro-Acoustic Bed.
The latter is an intense treatment designed to boost relaxation and support healthy sleep.
All treatments at the spa can also be accessed by non-members – ideal for those who need a powerful break if the festive season is all getting a bit much.
