20 Canada Square

20 Canada Square is an office building in Canary Wharf with twelve floors and a contemporary design by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The structure provides modern workspace in an established business district with direct access to surrounding commercial facilities.

The building was completed in 2003 during the transformation of former West India Docks into a modern financial center through the London Docklands Development Corporation. This development marked a large-scale conversion of the dock area into one of London's major business locations.

The building represents the evolution of London's business landscape, located in Tower Hamlets where British Bangladeshi communities contribute to the area's diversity.

The main entrance is positioned on the south side of the plaza and is easily accessible from street level. The building is surrounded by public spaces and benefits from good transportation connections in the area.

The building's entrance design incorporates specific architectural elements to manage the flow of thousands of workers during peak hours.
