The Wharf, originally uploaded by Adam Tinworth.

The other morning, I was forced to catch the DLR to work, rather than my accustomed train. I changed from the Jubilee Line at Heron Quays, and was immediately struck by how much more aesthetically pleasing Canary Wharf has become since the towers proliferated.

Just for a moment, I felt I was looking up at a film backdrop, not a real view at all. And that pleased me.
