Canary Wharf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Canary Wharf is connected to central London via the Canary Wharf DLR station, opened in 1991, and the extension of the Jubilee Line to Canary Wharf tube station in 2000. At the metropolitan level, Canary Wharf was, and remains, a direct challenge to the primacy of the City of London as the UK's principal centre for the finance industry. Canary Wharf Pier is located at the Canary Riverside, providing regular commuter river boat services to Greenwich in the east and the City of London and the West End of London in the west on the commuter service, and a shuttle service to the London Docklands Hilton in Rotherhithe. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Canary_Wharf   (2483 words)

From Here To Modernity Buildings - Canary Wharf Canary Wharf Tower is Britain's tallest building, dominating the flat skyline of east London and visible to passers-by thirty-two kilometres away. The Tower forms part of the ambitious Canary Wharf development plans of the 1980s, when the British government decided that the only way for London to develop was eastwards, away from the crowded centre, and so needed a bold beacon to attract investors and companies to the run-down marshland around the largely empty Docklands area. Today, the Tower stands at the centre of a rapidly changing area of London: it anchors a twenty-first century landscape of steel and glass (two towers have recently been completed on either side of the original) onto one of Europe's oldest cities. www.open2.net /modernity/3_17.htm   (556 words)
