Default Crossrail Canary Wharf station

Several years before the trains arrive, the development above the
Canary Wharf Crossrail station opened this summer, and I finally got
around to visiting it on a rainy morning yesterday.

This station is pretty spectacular, just as the Canary Wharf DLR and
Jubilee line stations already are. I think that, in each case, Canary
Wharf has the stand-out station on the line. But, unfortunately, the
three stations are all physically some distance apart, so they're not
convenient for connecting between the lines.

Work is of course very much continuing down in the basement, but
you're hardly aware of it when you visit Crossrail Place, as the
overstation development is known. The shops, restaurants and rooftop
garden are open, and serving the workers in the nearby office towers.
It's definitely worth a visit if you've not been yet.
