Canary Wharf tube station, London

Often described as cathedral-like, Canary Wharf underground station isn"t just a mundane transport hub. The location is a portal to a world where history, commerce and futuristic design collide. Designed by Norman Foster, a key figure in British modernist architecture, the tube station was officially opened to the public in 1999. Since then, it has been serving the ever-expanding Canary Wharf business district. When it comes to London, it is your gateway to the city"s heart. Hop on the Jubilee line and you are mere minutes away from iconic landmarks like Westminster, the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace.
