Canary Wharf is a large financial and business development built on the site of the West India docks, which during it’s heyday in the 19th and early 20th centuries was the busiest dock in the world. Canary Wharf is now home to three of the UK’s tallest buildings: Canary Wharf Tower; 8 Canada Square; and the Citigroup Centre. However, these are due to be surpassed by Riverside South Tower 1, and Columbus Tower. Canary Wharf has a number of notable tenants include major banks, such as Barclays, Credit Suisse, HSBC and Citigroup, law firms such as Clifford Chance and Allen & Overy, as well as news media and service firms, including Thomson Reuters, and Trinity Mirror. The area is served by the successful Docklands Light Railway, which now transports over 100,000 people every day. As befits an area with many blue chip companies there are a number of 5 and 4 star business hotels and apartments such as Crowne Plaza London Docklands Hotel, MiNC Boardwalk Serviced Apartment, Radisson Edwardian New Providence Hotel. Cheaper alternatives include the 3 star Express by Holiday Inn Limehouse Hotel, and Custom House Hotel.
