London - Isle of Dogs

The Isle of Dogs, at one time marshland on a wide bend of the river, forms the heart of the redevelopment. Its docks were named the East India and West India Docks, referring to the colonies where the cargo originated. As a result of the concentration of wharves and shipping lines, the Isle of Dogs became the center of London's heavy industry in the mid-19th century. The redevelopment has given the area an entirely different aspect: it is now a high-tech office and residential quarter of architectural innovation. The printing office of the Financial Times, designed by Nicholas Grimshaw, is one of the many modern buildings that has been architecturally acclaimed.

The highlight of Isle of Dogs is Canary Wharf.
