Jubilee Park is a haven of peace, a green lung within the dense urban centre of Canary Wharf. This large park was built within the London docklands above an underground station, a shopping mall and a public car park. Its curvilinear design provides a positive contrast to both the scale and the straightness of the surrounding buildings. With its central meandering water fea-ture, its 22 fountains and pools, the park is a pleasant setting for occasional art exhibitions. It was established on time for the Golden Jubilee celebration of Queen Elisabeth II and was named after that anniversary.

    The park is situated on the roof of the underground station, a shopping mall and a public car park.
