Docklands of Canary Warf

Overview

Canary Warf is a business district on the river Thames. This area used to be docklands before falling into disrepair. Since then the area has experienced a resurgence brought on by the Canary Warf [1] group turning it into the popular leisure and retail space that it is today. The area spralls 97 acres with much of the space containing shop, businesses and restaurants and a beautiful view of the Thames and docklands. The Canary Warf group focused on creating an environment to be welcoming to all and included a large amount of green space, which can be difficult to find in a city setting. Located on this strip is the Museum of London Docklands, which today attracts many school groups.


History



[2]


St. Peter's Barge

St. Peter's Barge is "London's Floating Church". The church is associated with the Church of England but welcomes all people of faith. Their goal is to be a family of Christians and provide positive spiritual support to the community. While they might seem special because the church is a boat, they function as a typical church.[3]
