Crossrail Place

Crossrail Place is a complex built in the North Dock of the West India Docks in London's Canary Wharf. It contains Canary Wharf railway station and was partly opened on 1 May 2015.[2] Architect Magazine described Crossrail Place as an "enormous, ship-like building", and its roof is the largest timber project in the United Kingdom.[3] It was designed by Foster + Partners and Arup.[1][4][5] It rises from the Import Dock (North Dock) of West India Docks.
