Canary Wharf is London's newest business area with 65,000 employees. It includes Britain's tallest building, the 235m One canada Square, and the second and third tallest - HSBC's 8 Canada Square and Citigroup's European HQ. The estate was started in 1980 when it was just a derelict docks. It is now a busy shopping, restaurant and leisure destination. Things to see: Museum in Docklands, Public Art, SS Robin, West India Quay restaurants and bars.
This is the entrance to the Jubilee Line station

This is the view from in front of the tube station looking up to One Canada Square - the steam pouring from the top of the pyramid is from the air conditioning units underneath but lends the building a slightly mysterious air.

This is the view from Cabot Square looking east (Ced). Perhaps surprisingly, it is almost impossible to find a decent double espresso here.
