This ’space-craft like’ building was designed to house ‘Space Centre‘, an interactive space exhibition. The centre closed last September, despite being open for less than a year.

You can also see what is apparently a “Ariane 44LP Orbital launch vehicle” to the West of the building, just beside its boosters.

This is Canary Wharf, on the Isle of Dogs, London. Canary Wharf contains the UK’s three tallest buildings, the 1 Canada Square building (235m), the HSBC Tower (200m) and the Citigroup Centre (199m). As ever, tons of fascinating info on Canary Wharf at Wikipedia.

Immediately to the west of the Canada Square building you can also see the glass roof of the Canary Wharf Docklands light railway station (Wikipedia entry).
