Canary Wharf
Photographed quite often, the imposing canopy of Canary Wharf tube station is a superb piece of modern architecture.
Designed by Foster and Partner Architects it was completed in 1999. Above ground the station roof is laid out as a landscaped park, creating Canary Wharf's principal recreation space. The only visible station elements are these arcing glass canopies that cover its three entrances and draw daylight deep into the concourse.
I've given this shot a desaturated look and given it a cooler white balance as I didn't really like how the colours of the original shot came out. A lot of people like to keep this shot free of people as well but I thought I'd include some human element to give scale to the vast canopy itself.
In popular culture Canary Wharf station has been used by Danny Boyle for his film 28 Days Later and more recently, the Star Wars film Rogue One.
