| Event Name: | Docklands art and architecture |
| Description: | Docklands contains some of the most spectacular architecture in London, from the impressive early nineteenth century warehouses of the West India Company to the iconic No 1 Canada Square - the tallest building in Britain. View the two remaining great warehouses that survived the Blitz and now contain the Museum of London Docklands, as well as the old Ledger House where records were kept, the Dock constable houses, excise office and guard house. Cross onto Canary Wharf itself to discuss architecture ranging from the post-modern to state-of-the-art Modernist buildings by architects such as Norman Foster and Cesar Pelli. Gain an insight into the forces that have shaped the appearance of the Wharf today, from its tube stations to lamp posts and park benches. Discover works of art both in the squares and within the buildings themselves and a wonderful English-style country park with a winding stream and elm trees. |
