Line 146:
The [[City of London]] boasts around 300,000 employees, largely concentrated in the financial and professional sectors.
Within London, the desire for banks to be there put pressure on the City of London's ability to accommodate them. In the mid-[[1980s]] a crisis point was reached and, although the City was able to expand its stock of modern office space, this did not happen before [[Canary Wharf]] had been set up as a competitor. The irony is that Canary Wharf was built in the London [[Docklands]] that had, until 1970, been among the largest docks
In this respect, Canary Wharf is arguably more [[symbolic]] of the changed economic geography of the UK than any other place.
