'''Canary Wharf''' is a privately owned financial district in [[London]], England, located in the [[Isle of Dogs]] in the [[London Borough of Tower Hamlets]]. The [[Greater London Authority]] defines it as part of London's [[central business district]].{{sfn|Greater London Authority|2008|p=6}} With the [[City of London]] and the [[West End of London|West End]], it constitutes one of the main [[financial centre]]s in the United Kingdom and the world,{{sfn|Greater London Authority|2008|p=4}} containing many major global companies and banks' headquarters and high-rise buildings, including the [[List of tallest buildings in the UK|third-tallest in the UK]], [[One Canada Square]].<ref name="skys_Unit">{{Cite web |title=United Kingdom Skyscraper Diagram |author= |work=skyscraperpage.com |date= |access-date=26 August 2021 |url=https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?countryID=133 |archive-date=20 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210520183242/https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?countryID=133 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dN6_CQAAQBAJ&pg=PT40 |page=40 |title=Contemporary British Fiction and the Cultural Politics of Disenfranchisement: Freedom and the City |author=A.

The district was developed on the site of the former West India Docks in East London. Canary Wharf, together with [[Heron Quays]] and [[Wood Wharf]], forms the Canary Wharf Estate, covering around {{convert|97|acre}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Canary Wharf Estate - Canary Wharf Group Canary Wharf Estate |url=https://group.canarywharf.com/portfolio-and-places/canary-wharf-estate/ |access-date=2025-10-01 |website=Canary Wharf Group |language=en}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:Isle of dogs 1899.jpg|thumb|Canary Wharf in 1899, showing the West India Docks and the Isle of Dogs]]

===West India Dock Company===
From 1802 until the late 1980s, the area now known as the Canary Wharf Estate was part of the [[Isle of Dogs]] (specifically [[Millwall]]) and [[Poplar, London|Poplar]]. The West India Docks, a central feature of the area, were primarily developed by [[Robert Milligan (merchant)|Robert Milligan]] (c. 1746–1809), who founded the West India Dock Company.

===Port of London Authority===
The [[Port of London Authority]] was established in 1909 and took control of the West India Dock. The enterprise of [[Alfred Lewis Jones]], a Welsh shipping magnate and a prominent figure in the [[Canary Islands]], Spain, led to a constant stream of ships arriving into London's South Quay Dock.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20180912-the-peculiar-tale-of-how-londons-canary-wharf-got-its-name |date=13 September 2018 |title=The peculiar tale of how London's Canary Wharf got its name |last=Clarke |first=Ross |website=[[BBC]] |access-date=3 June 2023 |archive-date=3 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230603030751/https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20180912-the-peculiar-tale-of-how-londons-canary-wharf-got-its-name |url-status=live }}</ref> No. 32 berth of West Wood Quay in the Import Dock was built in 1936 with a two-storey transit shed for Fruit Lines Ltd, a subsidiary of [[Fred. Olsen & Co.|Fred Olsen Lines]], for the [[Mediterranean]] and [[Canary Islands]] fruit trade, gaining the name Canary Wharf.<ref name=Brit>{{Cite web|author=School of Advanced Research, Institute of Historical Study|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=46497|title=The West India Docks: The buildings: warehouses, Survey of London: volumes 43 and 44: Poplar, Blackwall and Isle of Dogs (1994), pp. 284–300|publisher=[[University of London]]|access-date=22 July 2008|archive-date=29 August 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140829175129/http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=46497|url-status=dead}}. Retrieved 22 July 2008</ref>

===London Docklands Development Corporation===
After the 1960s, when cargo became [[Containerization|containerised]], the port industry began to decline, leading to the closure of all the docks by 1980.<ref name=Port>[http://www.portcities.org.uk/london/server/show/ConFactFile.83/West-India-Docks.html ''West India Docks (1803–1980) ''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080203140536/http://www.portcities.org.uk/london/server/show/ConFactFile.83/West-India-Docks.html |date=3 February 2008}} (Port Cities) accessed 22 July 2008</ref><ref name=history>{{cite web |url=http://www.canarywharf.co.uk/mainFrm1.asp?strSelectedArea=History |title=History |access-date=11 November 2010 |publisher=Canary Wharf Group |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060623070018/http://www.canarywharf.co.uk/mainFrm1.asp?strSelectedArea=History |archive-date=23 June 2006}}</ref> After the docks closed in 1980, the British Government adopted policies to stimulate redevelopment of the area, including the creation of the [[London Docklands Development Corporation]] (LDDC) in 1981 and the granting of [[Urban Enterprise Zone]] status to the Isle of Dogs in 1982.<ref name=history/>
	
The Canary Wharf of today began when [[Michael von Clemm]], former chairman of [[Credit Suisse First Boston]] (CSFB), came up with the idea to convert Canary Wharf into a [[back office]]. Further discussions with [[G Ware Travelstead]] led to proposals for a new business district and included the LDDC developing an inexpensive light metro scheme, the [[Docklands Light Railway]], to make use of a large amount of redundant railway infrastructure and to improve access.

The project was sold to the Canadian company [[Olympia & York]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lddc-history.org.uk/transport/tranmon2.html#Era |title=The Development of Transport in London Docklands – Part I: The Chronological Story |at=A New Era: the Coming of Canary Wharf |work=LDDC history |date=17 July 1987 |access-date=12 January 2009 |archive-date=26 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120426004205/http://www.lddc-history.org.uk/transport/tranmon2.html#Era |url-status=live}}</ref> and construction began in 1988, master-planned by [[Skidmore, Owings & Merrill]] with [[Yorke Rosenberg Mardall]] as their UK advisors, and subsequently by Koetter Kim. The first buildings were completed in 1991, including [[One Canada Square]], which became the UK's tallest building at the time and a symbol of the regeneration of Docklands. By the time it opened, the London commercial property market had collapsed, and Olympia and York Canary Wharf Limited filed for bankruptcy in May 1992.

Initially, the City of London saw Canary Wharf as an existential threat. It modified its planning laws to expand the provision of new offices in the City of London, for example, creating offices above railway stations (Blackfriars) and roads ([[125 London Wall|Alban Gate]]). The resulting oversupply of office space contributed to the failure of the Canary Wharf project.

===Canary Wharf Group===
In October 1995, an international consortium that included investors such as [[Alwaleed]], bought control of the Canary Wharf Group for $1.2 billion. [[Paul Reichmann]] (of Olympia & York) was named chairman, and Canary Wharf went public in 1999.<ref name="Khan">{{cite book |last1=Khan |first1=Riz |title=Alwaleed, Businessman Billionaire Prince |year=2005 |publisher=HarperCollins |location=New York |isbn=9780060850302 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/alwaleed00rizk_0/page/120 120–121] |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/alwaleed00rizk_0/page/120}}</ref> The new company was called Canary Wharf Limited, and later became [[Canary Wharf Group]].

In 1997, some residents living on the Isle of Dogs [[Hunter v Canary Wharf Ltd|launched a lawsuit against Canary Wharf Ltd]] for private nuisance because [[One Canada Square]], owned by the company, interfered with TV signals. However, the residents lost the suit.<ref name="hunter01">The court found against the appellants (Hunter and others) as private nuisance legislation generally concerns "emanations" from land, not interference with such emanations. [http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.com/pa/ld199697/ldjudgmt/jd970424/hunter01.htm "Hunter and Others v. Canary Wharf Ltd./Hunter and Others v.

Retrieved on 23 March 2009.</ref>

Recovery in the property market generally, coupled with continuing demand for large floorplate Grade A office space, slowly improved the level of interest. A critical event in the recovery was the much-delayed start of work on the [[Jubilee Line Extension]], which the government wanted ready for the [[Millennium]] celebrations.

In March 2004, Canary Wharf Group plc. was taken over by a consortium of investors, backed by its largest shareholder [[Glick]] Family Investments<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/glick-family-in-late-move-over-canary-wharf-battle-537306.html |title=Glick family in late move over Canary Wharf battle |date=2 January 2011 |work=The Independent |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110102231635/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/glick-family-in-late-move-over-canary-wharf-battle-537306.html |archive-date=2 January 2011}}</ref> and led by [[Morgan Stanley]] using a vehicle named Songbird Estates plc.

== Squares and public areas ==
{{More citations needed|section|date=September 2025}}[[File:Cabot Square, Canary Wharf - June 2008.jpg|thumb|East view from [[Cabot Square]]]][[Canada Square]] is one of the central squares at Canary Wharf. It is a large open space with grass, except during the winter when it is converted into an ice rink. The square is named after Canada, because the original developers of modern Canary Wharf, Olympia & York, wanted to reflect their heritage as a Canadian company. Underneath the square is Canada Place shopping mall.

[[Westferry Circus]] is on the west side of Canary Wharf. It is a garden at ground level, and below is a roundabout allowing traffic to flow through. The garden is enclosed by bespoke hand-crafted ornamental railings and entrance gates by artist Giuseppe Lund. The area has a long history, dating back to 1812, when the Poplar and Greenwich Roads Company operated a horse ferry between [[Greenwich]] and the Isle of Dogs. It operated on the West Ferry and East Ferry Roads, which the names survived. Westferry Circus was chosen as the name for the roundabout and park by virtue of its proximity to Westferry Road.

[[Cabot Square]] is one of the biggest squares at Canary Wharf, with a large fountain at the centre. The inner perimeter has additional fountains covered by trees. The square has large circular glass ventilation holes to allow gases to escape from the underground car park. The square is named after [[John Cabot]] and his son Sebastian, who were Italian explorers who settled in England in 1484.

Churchill Place is an area on the east side of Canary Wharf. It is named after [[Winston Churchill]].

Columbus Courtyard is a small square on the west side of Canary Wharf named after [[Christopher Columbus]]. The first phase of Canary Wharf was completed in 1992, 500 years after Columbus arrived in America.

Chancellor Passage is a passageway south of Cabot Square. Named after [[Richard Chancellor]] who sailed with Sir John Willoughby from Greenwich on their voyage through the White Sea to Moscow.

Wren Landing is small area north of Cabot Square. Leads to North Dock footbridge towards Port East. Named after British architect [[Christopher Wren]].

Montgomery Square, located at the east end of Jubilee Park, is an outdoor location for socialising. Events include street food markets, beach volleyball tournaments,<ref>[https://canarywharf.com/past-events/beach-volleyball/ Beach Volleyball] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231230150756/https://canarywharf.com/past-events/beach-volleyball/ |date=30 December 2023 }} Canary Wharf Group plc.
