Canary Wharf station will be one of the largest Crossrail stations.It is situated in the north dock of West India Quay.The station and proposed retail and park areas will be six storeys high;approximately the size of One Canada Square laid on its side.
Retail areas are planned for four of the six storeys along with a landscaped park,restaurant and community facility on the top floor.The station will be covered by a lattice roof allowing views out over the dock,Canary Wharf and beyond.
