In defence of Canary Wharf

28th November 2014

In a letter to the Standard, Sir Martin Jacomb, the former non-executive chairman of Canary Wharf Group, takes issue with writer and former National Trust chairman Simon Jenkins' claims that Canary Wharf Group has destroyed London Docklands' historic atmosphere. He comments that regeneration of Docklands has led to the growth of the capital's high-quality office, retail and leisure space and allowed London's historic buildings and surrounding countryside to remain preserved. He adds that, of the 105,000 people working there, thousands live locally.
