Canary Wharf

12 Sep 2004

I first came to London in March 2000, we had offices in 1 Canada Square which is the tallest building in Europe at the moment. It was the first building to be built on the Canary Wharf estate. I took a couple of photos with my Epson PhotoPC 600 of the area.

When I discovered these photos again a couple of nights ago I had a look for other old photos around Canary Wharf and found one I took in 2002 from roughly the same angle as the earlier one but just from further away. The 2002 photo was taken with my Olympus C3000 Zoom camera.

Today I went back to the same spot and took another shot with my new camera. Unfortunately I cannot go to the same place as the 2000 photo since there is now a modern flat complex.

The full entry has the 3 photos for a comparison of the growth of this area.
