Canary Wharf Underground station, Docklands, London

Like everyone else, I adore Canary Wharf, but it did take me a while to find my way around. Exiting from the tube platform, its actually very straightforward - keep going straight on. And then you get the most famous view of all, this oblong, modern empty space, incredibly theatrical, completely wonderful, with the curved glass half-dome over it, an addition at the top. Whenever you go through Canary Wharf, there are always people taking photographs - and it is dramatic. So much was made of Kings Cross International opening - justly, of course - and this space is similar in size, but squared off at the top, not the oval Victorian arch. Its very beautiful.

Practicalities - yes, many exits, watch the signs for where you’re going. There are entrances to toilets set in the walls, and what’s more the toilets are free. They look like they belong in Stargate Atlantis somehow, with the impression of curved doors.

The only caveat is in the winter, if its windy, be very careful immediately outside. I was there on the Saturday when storms were forecast, and I was literally blown along just outside the station. Luckily, a friend was blown into me, and we held hands to make it to the station. Otherwise, its wonderful.

This station is great. Well, as far as stations go. Its new(ish) and huge. Unlike most of the other underground stations, the platforms have glass door/wall type things stopping you falling onto the platform. Incredibly clean you wont find loads of rubbish or rats running round this place. I love the long escalators running right the way up to the street level. One word of warning though, there seems to be a number of different exits, mainly because you can enter into the shopping centres from here without going outside, so its easy to get lost, or confused if you plan to meet someone here.

Canary Wharf Jubilee Line Station is huge, and rightly so!

It is the main transport link to Canary Wharf, so as you can imagine it’s very busy during the rush hour.

The way people line up at the doors in an ordered fashion, is really good as everybody waits fairly and there isn’t an pushing and things are pretty calm!

There are about 4 entrances to the station. There is the main entrance, two side entrances from Canada Place and Jubilee Place and then the back entrance.

The station is really big, and sometimes I’ve made the mistake of going in there the wrong way, intending to enter Jubilee Place from Canada Place, and instead have had to leave through the back exit, and then walk around.

A nice little thing about the station is that there is often a busker near the main entrance (in the station) that performs music that really puts a smile on your face after either a long day at work or a long day of shopping!

Canary Wharf Station is really special with big glass dome roofs and huge esculaters raising up towards the sun like stairways to heaven!
its huge! i always end up getting lost there as 2 exits to outside and 2 into the two different shopping centres

the architecture of this station is truly amazing (as most of canary wharf is)
