The holy train-ity. Canary Wharf tube station, London

Often described as cathedral-like, Canary Wharf underground station isn't just a mundane transport hub. The location is a portal to a world where history, commerce and futuristic design collide. Designed by Norman Foster, a key figure in British modernist architecture, the tube station was officially opened to the public in 1999. Since then, it has been serving the ever-expanding Canary Wharf business district. When it comes to London, it is your gateway to the city's heart. Hop on the Jubilee line and you are mere minutes away from iconic landmarks like Westminster, the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace.

As one of the most impressive transportation buildings in the world, it has had its fair share of moments in the limelight. It has been used as a location for films like Danny Boyle's '28 Days Later' and Star Wars' 'Rogue One'. The surprises don't stop there. Canary Wharf station doubles as a contemporary art gallery. It regularly hosts exhibitions featuring both established and emerging artists, making it a cultural hub as well.
