On the north bank of the Thames on the Isle of Dogs. Beyond are the skyscrapers of the Canary Wharf development Image From left to right is 1 Canada Square (frequently but erroneously referred to simply as "Canary Wharf"), 25 Canada Square (part of the Citigroup Centre) and the HSBC Tower (8 Canada Square, part hidden). When it was built in 1991, Canary Wharf at 235 metres high was the tallest building in the United Kingdom and stayed that way until the construction of the Shard twenty years later. Numbers 25 and 8 Canada Square completed at the beginning of the present century are both 200 metres high, making them joint fourth tallest building in the United Kingdom.
