Canada Square

Canada Square is a public square at Canary Wharf, on the Isle of Dogs in London's Docklands. It is in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in the eastern end of Central London along the River Thames. Canada Square is surrounded by three of the tallest buildings in the United Kingdom, including One Canada Square, which was the tallest building from 1990 until late 2010, when it was surpassed by the Shard London Bridge. The Canadian connection is from the original developers of the site, Olympia and York, owned by the Paul Reichmann family of Toronto.

The complex and the square is served by the Canary Wharf tube station on the Jubilee Line and the Canary Wharf DLR station on the Docklands Light Railway.

Famous quotes containing the words canada and/or square:

    In Canada an ordinary New England house would be mistaken for the château, and while every village here contains at least several gentlemen or “squires,” there is but one to a seigniory.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I would say it was the coffin of a midget
    Or a square baby
    Were there not such a din in it.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
