Canary Wharf Station (GPS: 51.50348, -0.01859) is a station of the London Underground in the Canary Wharf area, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Located in Travelcard Zone 2, the station is served by the Jubilee Line between the Canada Water Tube Station and North Greenwich Tube Station.

The Canary Wharf Tube Station was opened on 17 September, 1999 by London mayor Ken Livingstone. Since then, over 40 million people have been using the station every year, making it the busiest London Underground station outside of Central London, and also the busiest Underground station served by only a single line. It is also in the vicinity of the Canary Wharf DLR Station and Heron Quays DLR Station of the Docklands Light Railway.

The surface entrance of the Canary Wharf Tube Station, which is separated from the Canary Wharf DLR Station of the Docklands Light Railway, comprises two curved glass canopies at the east and west ends of the station, allowing natural light to penetrate into the ticket hall below. Between these canopies is a public park. Under this is the vast station concourse. The platforms are equipped with platform screen doors, safeguarding the safety of the commuters from falling onto the tracks.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
