Read the full article: Local Area
In 1990 the 800 ft Canary Wharf Tower at One Canada Square was completed and the massive commercial infrastructure investment into the region ensured the delivery of World Class links by road, rail and air to the new business community.
Investment continued apace following the opening of this landmark building and, in addition to gaining approval for a new International Exhibition Centre (ExCel), came the opening of the Limehouse Link tunnel and extensions to both the Jubilee Line and the DLR. A river boat service from Canary Waterside connects Canary Wharf to central London and Greenwich. London City Airport is a few miles further to the east and can be accessed by bus, taxi and, since December 2005, DLR
In the last 10 years the working population alone, formerly in huge decline, has seen unparalleled growth from 13,400 to over 80,000, 25% of whom live in the surrounding 5 London
Boroughs Commerce
Canary Wharf is not just an office scheme. It has had a massive impact at the local level, at the metropolitan level and, to a certain extent, at the national level.
The sleek tower blocks of Canary Wharf dominate London’s skyline include Britain’s tallest building. Once the busiest port in world, this can be quite difficult to imagine as you walk around the district today. Even harder to believe is that just 20 years ago Canary Wharf was one of the most derelict areas of London.
A thriving and vibrant business district, the offices at Canary Wharf have been built to the highest standards attracting tenants from major banks such as Credit Suisse, HSBC, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and Barclays, State Street & KPMG.
International law firms such as Clifford Chance and major news media and service firms including Reuters, the Daily Telegraph and Daily Mirror have also snapped up available space.
Eating, Drinking & Shopping
The immense demand for goods and services has resulted in a choice of hotel, conference, concert and banqueting centres; theatres & cinemas; heath & sports clubs; child care facilities; 5 shopping malls over 4 storeys that offer 78 shops, 8 restaurants, 23 café’s and bars; plus an array of 29 healthcare, beauty and other services outlets.
Around 500,000 people shop at Canary Wharf each week and employment in the retail sector now stands at over 4,500. With the opening of Jubilee Place shopping mall Canary Wharf has become a shopper’s paradise – a magnet, not just for City workers, but for people from all over London. Luxurious brands sit side by side with high street names such as Gap, Next, M&S and Whistles. There is also a selection of smaller independent shops and designer boutiques.
The warehouses around West India Quay, named after the raw sugar that was imported from the West Indies, are the best preserved in London. Nowadays they house a selection of bars, restaurants, a Museum…and even a floating Church! Parks
In design terms Canary Wharf is one of the most highly specified urban areas in the world and for attention to detail both in the streetscape and public open spaces it is virtually impossible to find a contemporary comparison.
The fountain in Cabot Square is computer controlled and capable of performing a variety of movements. A sensor detects wind strength and adjusts the water height accordingly to ensure that passers-by are not soaked in windy conditions.
The 20 acres of landscaped parks, squares and promenades accommodate over 130,000 shrubs and plants and some 500 trees of various species including London Plane; English Oak; Silver Lime; Red Oak; Norway Maple; and Horse Chestnut.
The Olympics
The district is also focussing its attention on the 2012 Games in terms of redevelopment and the substantial housing and employment opportunities this will bring, not to mention the visitor appeal that Canary Wharf now attracts.
Provision is being made for new hotel and conference facilities for visitors to London and the 2012 Olympics.
New venues for events and water based leisure activities with as the addition of new bars, restaurants and retail units will simply add to the existing and significant allure of the area.
