website [visit
link] tells us about the location:
"Canary Wharf is planned on
a grand scale, yet with meticulous attention to details. The estate extends to
over 97 acres and is so called because when in use as a dock, many of the
imports were from the Canary Islands.
Approximately 15 million square
feet of office and retail space has been constructed to date.
The first tenants moved into Canary Wharf in August 1991. Now over 93,000
people work here.
Currently the development comprises over 30 completed
buildings and over 200 shops, bars and restaurants within four retail malls. It
also has a conference and banqueting centre, two Dockland Light Railway
stations, a Jubilee Line station, car parks and approximately 20 acres of
landscaped open spaces."
