About

Canary Wharf is a privately owned financial district in London, England, located on the Isle of Dogs in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The Greater London Authority defines it as part of London's central business district, alongside Central London. Alongside the City of London and the West End, it constitutes one of the main financial centres in the United Kingdom and the world, containing many major global companies and banks' headquarters and high-rise buildings, including the third-tallest skyscraper in the UK, One Canada Square. Developed on the site of the former West India Docks in East London, Canary Wharf contains around 16,000,000 sq ft of office and retail space. It features numerous open areas and gardens, including Canada Square, Cabot Square, Westferry Circus, Jubilee Park, and the Crossrail Place Roof Garden. Together with Heron Quays and Wood Wharf, it forms the Canary Wharf Estate, covering approximately 97 acres in area. Read more
