Canary Wharf is an important financial district and shopping district in London, the capital of the United Kingdom. It is located at the U-shaped turn of the Thames River in east London. There are many high-rise buildings and avant-garde and modern architectural clusters here to create a shopping paradise. Historical background British ports used to be the distribution center of world trade, advanced and prosperous, Canary Wharf is London's outstanding dock. At that time, Canary Wharf was a never-night pier, large and small ships were loading and unloading on the water, and many ships were waiting at the anchorage outside. However, in the 1960s, due to the shrinking of the maritime industry, some of the original port terminals in London gradually declined until they were closed, and the 22-square-kilometer terminal in Canary was one of them. In the mid-1980s, the City of London established the Docklands Development Corporation, which began a comprehensive transformation of the area. Now, Canary Wharf has been transformed into a highly dense international financial center. There are many high-rise buildings here, except for One Canada Place, the second tallest building in the UK, and the headquarters buildings of internationally renowned banks such as JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, and Citi. They are also settled here. In addition, from high street shopping malls to designer brand stores are numerous here. It also regularly hosts a variety of events, exhibitions and extraordinary public art exhibitions, enriching the environment and people's lives here.

Canary Wharf is one of the best places in London. You can see high rise buildings here. There’s Winter Lights exhibit which was ended last January 28, 2023. It’s really superb! There are some permanent installations which you can still visit until now.
All the developments here are in stark contrast to the old buildings nearby, such as Greenwich. It is fascinating to watch the skyline slowly change in London. It is ideal to take a walk and have lunch near Canary Wharf and enjoy the rising skyline in such a way. On weekends, however, it gives a sense of peace and tranquility, although there is a lot of tourists, but not to the bustling.
I haven't been to Canary Wharf for years. It's mainly a business district, but there are a little more entertainment facilities here than before. If you want to go a little further, there is still nothing to do. There are lots of places to shop, eat and drink, and there are plenty of beautiful skyscrapers to see. It is a great way to spend an afternoon in the area where you live.
Canary Wharf It can be said that it is the most beautiful place in East London, and the scenery of residential buildings such as landmark and SQP is even more self-evident.
