About the area

Canary Wharf has London's most futuristic scenery, a forest of glass skyscrapers. Towers reflected in the water at night and the futuristic Underground station are popular for sci-fi style cinematic footage and tech YouTube. There are also places you can shoot on rainy days, such as a covered roof garden. Most of the area is private land, so check the filming rules before any serious shoot.
