Canary Wharf Railway Station
Designed by Foster + Partners, the station has been built for Crossrail in the North Dock in West India Quay.
The station design incorporates two parts - a huge 256 metre long station box sitting directly below the over site development.
The over site development, called Crossrail Place was opened on 1 May 2015 and includes 100,000 square feet of retail space and a roof-top park which is semi-covered by an elegant timber lattice roof. The roof is made of translucent materials, letting the local community see, and encouraging them to visit, the new green space, shops, restaurants and facilities within and allowing views out over the dock, Canary Wharf and beyond.
