Canary Wharf

These photos are from when I spent the morning exploring and taking pictures in Canary Wharf, which visually is the closest thing to Manhattan in London. I took pictures for my current art GCSE project - a David Hockney Joiner inspired photo collage. I'm a city girl, and happiest in the bustle of loud streets. There is just a great drive and atmosphere of New York that's incomparable to anywhere else. But since I can't just fly there whenever, I went to the closest thing London had to offer.






Jacket - Dorothy Perkins
Dress - Topshop
Spotty top (underneath dress) - New Look
Boots - Clarks
Glasses - Primark


London is such a diverse city and I'm so lucky to live here. Each area has a totally different vibe and you are always a tube ride away from something new. Canary Wharf is a business district in East London filled with reflective buildings, men and women in suits and surrounded by water. It definitely has character.

  5. This is such a great look on you. Love the shoes. I'm starting to think that every city has those shallow, three curved steps somewhere.
