Crossrail Place – Elizabeth Line Exit at Canary Wharf

August brings our final Summer Late sketch walk of 2024. Crossrail Place is a blend of nautical, business and rail transport. Modern architecture rises above the port-side warehouses of West India Quay. Crossrail place itself is a celebration of the London Underground’s newest line, the Elizabeth Line. Explore the boats and cranes of the wharf, capture the rising architecture of the financial district, and explore the covered roof garden topping London’s newest development. We’ll meet at the exit from the Elizabeth Line, next to the little coffee cabin.
