How to get there

This photo was taken from the Canary Wharf Promenade in London. I stood on the platform facing west for a view of the Bank Financial District. The easiest way to reach this spot is via one of the ferries that ply the River Thames regularly. They're a great way to see more of the city, and during the warmer months, can make for a very relaxing trip. By ferry: - Closest station: Canary Wharf Ferry Terminal - Head north - Turn left at NCN National Rte 1 By public transportation: - Closest station: Canary Wharf Station (via Jubilee Line) - Head north on Upper Bank St - Turn left onto S Colonnade - Continue straight onto Cabot Square - Turn left onto W India Ave - At Westferry Circus, take the 1st exit - Turn right and take the stairs - Turn left at NCN National Rte 1
