UK - London - 90s Docklands aerial landscape

A wide panorama aerial landscape of London Docklands in 1991 looking east from a new apartment tower block on the Isle of Dogs. Rising tall is the new Canary Wharf tower (known as 1, Canada Square) soon after its completion - and before the subsequently extensive development phases. This docklands development in east London is the product of the 1980s financial boom when during the office of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, huge building projects such as the Docklands consortium saw vast changes in London's landscape. By 2012 Canary Wharf contained 14,000,000 square feet (1,300,000 m2) of office and retail space. Around 90,000 people work here and it is home to the world or European headquarters of numerous major banks, professional services firms and media organisations.
