West India Dock Company

From 1802 to the late 1980s, what would become the Canary Wharf Estate was a part of the Isle of Dogs (Millwall), Limehouse, and Poplar and was one of the busiest docks in the world. West India Docks was primarily developed by Robert Milligan ({{circa|1746}}–1809) who set up the West India Dock Company.

Port of London Authority

The Port of London Authority was established in 1909 and took control of West India Dock. The enterprise of Sir Alfred Lewis Jones, a Welsh shipping magnate who was a prominent figure in the Canary Islands, led to a constant stream of ships arriving into London’s South Quay Dock and the naming of Canary Wharf, after the ships’ origin.WEB,www.bbc.com/travel/article/20180912-the-peculiar-tale-of-how-londons-canary-wharf-got-its-name, 13 September 2018, The peculiar tale of how London’s Canary Wharf got its name, Clarke, Ross, BBC, 3 June 2023, 3 June 2023,web.archive.org/web/20230603030751/https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20180912-the-peculiar-tale-of-how-londons-canary-wharf-got-its-name, live, It was named after No. 32 berth of the West Wood Quay of the Import Dock. This was built in 1936 for Fruit Lines Ltd, a subsidiary of Fred Olsen Lines for the Mediterranean and Canary Islands fruit trade. It is located on the Isle of Dogs, the quay and warehouse were given the name Canary Wharf.The West India Docks: The buildings: warehouses, Survey of London: volumes 43 and 44: Poplar, Blackwall and Isle of Dogs (1994), pp. 284–300 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140829175129www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=46497 |date=29 August 2014}}.

London Docklands Development Corporation

After the 1960s, when cargo became containerised, port industry began to decline, leading to all the docks being closed by 1980.West India Docks (1803–1980) {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080203140536www.portcities.org.uk/london/server/show/ConFactFile.83/West-India-Docks.html |date=3 February 2008}} (Port Cities) accessed 22 July 2008WEB,www.canarywharf.co.uk/mainFrm1.asp?strSelectedArea=History, History, 11 November 2010, Canary Wharf Group, dead,www.canarywharf.co.uk/mainFrm1.asp?strSelectedArea=History," title="web.archive.org/web/20060623070018www.canarywharf.co.uk/mainFrm1.asp?strSelectedArea=History,">web.archive.org/web/20060623070018www.canarywharf.co.uk/mainFrm1.asp?strSelectedArea=History, 23 June 2006, After the docks closed in 1980, the British Government adopted policies to stimulate redevelopment of the area, including the creation of the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) in 1981 and the granting of Urban Enterprise Zone status to the Isle of Dogs in 1982.The Canary Wharf of today began when Michael von Clemm, former chairman of Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB), came up with the idea to convert Canary Wharf into a back office. Further discussions with G Ware Travelstead led to proposals for a new business district and included the LDDC developing an inexpensive light metro scheme, the Docklands Light Railway, to make use of a large amount of redundant railway infrastructure and to improve access.The project was sold to the Canadian company Olympia & YorkWEB,www.lddc-history.org.uk/transport/tranmon2.html#Era, The Development of Transport in London Docklands – Part I: The Chronological Story, A New Era: the Coming of Canary Wharf, LDDC history, 17 July 1987, 12 January 2009, 26 April 2012,www.lddc-history.org.uk/transport/tranmon2.html#Era," title="web.archive.org/web/20120426004205www.lddc-history.org.uk/transport/tranmon2.html#Era,">web.archive.org/web/20120426004205www.lddc-history.org.uk/transport/tranmon2.html#Era, live, and construction began in 1988, master-planned by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill with Yorke Rosenberg Mardall as their UK advisors, and subsequently by Koetter Kim. The first buildings were completed in 1991, including One Canada Square, which became the UK’s tallest building at the time and a symbol of the regeneration of Docklands. By the time it opened, the London commercial property market had collapsed, and Olympia and York Canary Wharf Limited filed for bankruptcy in May 1992.Initially, the City of London saw Canary Wharf as an existential threat. It modified its planning laws to expand the provision of new offices in the City of London, for example, creating offices above railway stations (Blackfriars) and roads (Alban Gate). The resulting oversupply of office space contributed to the failure of the Canary Wharf project.

Canary Wharf Group

In October 1995, an international consortium that included investors such as Alwaleed, bought control for $1.2 billion. Paul Reichmann, of Olympia & York, was named chairman, and Canary Wharf went public in 1999.BOOK, Khan, Riz, Alwaleed, Businessman Billionaire Prince, 2005, HarperCollins, New York, 9780060850302, 120–121, registration,archive.org/details/alwaleed00rizk_0/page/120, The new company was called Canary Wharf Limited, and later became Canary Wharf Group.In 1997, some residents living on the Isle of Dogs launched a lawsuit against Canary Wharf Ltd for private nuisance because the tower interfered with TV signals. The residents lost the case.The court found against the appellants (Hunter and others) as private nuisance legislation generally concerns “emanations” from land, not interference with such emanations. “Hunter and Others v. Canary Wharf Ltd./Hunter and Others v. London Docklands Corporation” {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120310185844www.parliament.the-stationery-office.com/pa/ld199697/ldjudgmt/jd970424/hunter01.htm |date=10 March 2012}} House of Lords Session 1996–97.

Squares and public areas

Canada Square
Canada Square is one of the central squares at Canary Wharf. It is a large open space with grass, except during the winter when it is converted into an ice rink. The square is named after Canada, because the original developers of modern Canary Wharf, Olympia & York, wanted to reflect their heritage. Underneath the square is Canada Place shopping mall.
Westferry Circus
Westferry Circus is on the west side of Canary Wharf. It is a garden at ground level, and below is a roundabout allowing traffic to flow through. The garden is enclosed by bespoke hand-crafted ornamental railings and entrance gates by artist Giuseppe Lund. The area has a long history, dating back to 1812, when the Poplar and Greenwich Roads Company operated a horse ferry between Greenwich and the Isle of Dogs. It operated on the West Ferry and East Ferry Roads, which the names survived. Westferry Circus was chosen as the name for the roundabout and park by virtue of its proximity to Westferry Road.
Cabot Square
Cabot Square is one of the biggest squares at Canary Wharf, with a large fountain at the centre. The inner perimeter has additional fountains covered by trees. The square has large circular glass ventilation holes to allow gases to escape from the underground car park. The square is named after John Cabot and his son Sebastian, who were Italian explorers who settled in England in 1484.
Churchill Place
Churchill Place is an area on the east side of Canary Wharf. It is named after Winston Churchill.
Columbus Courtyard
A small square on the west side of Canary Wharf named after Christopher Columbus. The first phase of Canary Wharf was completed in 1992, 500 years after Columbus arrived in America.
Chancellor Passage
A passageway south of Cabot Square. Named after Richard Chancellor who sailed with Sir John Willoughby from Greenwich on their voyage through the White Sea to Moscow.
Wren Landing
Small area north of Cabot Square. Leads to North Dock footbridge towards Port East. Named after British architect Christopher Wren.
