Canary Wharf travel guide
Canary Wharf is the business center of London. It was erected on the location of the West India Docks, which was one of the most important docks in Europe in the early 19th century. It is dominated by multi-story buildings and modern architecture. It is not a tourist destination, but if you are the type of person who wants to experience local areas rather than just tourist destinations, this is the place for you. It is quite close to central London and offers many budget hotels and serviced apartments.
There are many restaurants in Canary Wharf that offer not only British food but all kinds of cuisines. If you want to spend quality time with your partner, enjoying a glass of cold beer, near the River Thames without being surrounded by tourists, then it is a perfect place for you; as there are many restaurants and pubs along the West Indies pier offering delicious food and a great atmosphere.
