            Adams Place Bridge, Canary Wharf Crossrail Station, London, England

The 'in place' for photographers in London at the moment and I can see why. This is Adams Place Bridge as part of the Canary Wharf Crossrail Station, almost looks like something out of a Star Wars film. I have a few different POVs of this bridge which yet I have edited but will do soon.

Next time I am in London I do fancy revisiting here but later on in the evening as I have heard the blinds do come down, this will give better control at photographing without the really strong highlights.

Of course this is such a splendid station and so it should be, Canary Wharf will be the Jewel in Crossrail's crown but I am particularly interested to see what the other smaller stations will look like, will they carry the same futuristic architectural theme across them all or be completely different, who knows? I suppose we don't have too long until we find out! 

Location Information
Canary Wharf railway station is currently under construction in Poplar in east London, as part of the Crossrail project. Construction began in May 2009 and the station is expected to open in 2018. During the project's development the station was named Isle of Dogs, before the current name was adopted. It will cost an estimated £500 million to build.

The station will be situated between Whitechapel and Custom House on the Crossrail line, and it will provide an interchange with Canary Wharf tube station on the London Underground and Poplar DLR station on the Docklands Light Railway.
