Once a thriving dock serving London, the bustling focal point of world trade in the 19th century, Canary Wharf is now Britain's fastest growing business district, 2nd in size to only the City of London itself.
Canary Wharf is urban regeneration at its very best. Over the past two decades, the regeneration of Canary Wharf and London's Docklands has been extraordinary. Today, the Canary Wharf estate comprises over 14 million square feet of office and retail space, and more than 50 major companies are based here. The area has also become one of London's most sought after places to live, with its unrivalled access via City Airport to mainland Europe as well as a vast array of the finest shops, bars and restaurants.
The idea to transform the disused docks into a new financial district was devised in 1981 by the then Secretary of State for the Environment, Michael Heseltine, who formed the London Docklands Development Corporation. On May 11th, 1988 then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, broke ground on the site. Today less than 20 years on, the Canary Wharf Estate comprises over 14,000,000 square feet of commercial space, including 33 office buildings, housing approximately 80,000 employees, 4 retail centres and a further 20 acres of landscaped open spaces.
