DISCOVER A CITY: London,
Canary wharf by KAREEM ABDUL

Canary Wharf is an area of London, England, located near the Isle of Dogs in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Canary Wharf is defined by the Greater London Authority as being part of London's central business district, alongside Central London. With the City of London, it constitutes one of the main financial centres in the United Kingdom and the world, containing many high-rise buildings including the third-tallest in the UK, One Canada Square, which opened on 26 August 1991.

On the other end of the spectrum, I also hold a deep admiration for the Westferry and Canary Wharf area.

The cityscape here is truly unique, with towering high-rises that feel like something straight out of Blade Runner juxtaposed against local estates and green spaces like the city
farm.

Whenever I feel stressed or overwhelmed, this area provides a peaceful escape where I can recharge and reconnect with the city in a whole new way.
