To many Londoners, Canary Wharf is an area best avoided. Full of suited workers in the week, and an apparent ghost town at the weekends, why would you visit it? I must admit, Canary Wharf does leave me feeling a bit cold.

Canary Wharf is a major business district in east London. It is one of the United Kingdom’s two main financial centres – along with the City of London – and contains many of Europe’s tallest buildings. Canary Wharf is located on the West India Docks on the Isle of Dogs.

Canary Wharf is the perfect spot if you enjoy photographing lines, angles and architecture. The area is a business district; the buildings are indistinguishable from any other business district in any other metropolitan city. I see no distinction. Do take note: Canary Wharf is privately owned and security guards have the right to ask you (tell you) not to take photographs. I’ve been asked to stop taking photos several times.

For the most part, however, you will probably not encounter issues if you are discrete. Is Canary Wharf one of the best places to photograph London? Yes, for the reasons stated above. No, if you are seeking London’s icons.
