WOOD WHARF - first walk in Canary Wharf's NEW district

[@Pinerocks]

Great video. I love Canary Wharf and skyscrapers. I must make an effort to go there more often!! 👍🏼

[@LondonViewpoints]

And it changes so much year on year there’s always some new skyscrapers to admire 👍🏻

[@exploringnorway3982]

Great architectural tour, the timelapses were beautiful! :)

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thank you, glad the timelapses added the extra to the tour ☺️

[@thedrummernator3892]

Your passion for architecture and tall buildings is palpable. Great footage and editing, look forward to more 😊👍

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot ☺️ I do love cool architecture and views from roofs of skyscrapers , more coming soon👍🏻

[@propergeek]

I used to work around here until I retired three years ago. Really good to see how it's changed. Good video!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot, nice to hear this from someone who like you knows the area 😀👍🏻

[@ians3586]

Brilliant photography! Love those timelapses. I'm staying in Canary Wharf Thursday night so this was a good primer on what to check out. I'll take a look at your other vids.

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks , and glad to hear it was a helpful video for you

[@LapseLifeProductions]

Looks like a great place to explore and take photos and time lapse! Definitely need to visit London some day!!!

[@LondonViewpoints]

It is indeed, that is if one likes modern architecture and city scenery😀 I do and hope you get to visit London one day too 👍🏻

[@bb32112]

Fantastic video as always! I look forward to watching you explore more places soon 🏙

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed this walking tour, more videos in the works👍🏻

[@ytube1286]

This area is astonishing. Love it

[@LondonViewpoints]

It’s definitely cool 😀glad you enjoyed the video

[@berlinlapse]

Very informative video, makes me want to come visit even more. The timelapses are so good 😍

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot Felix ☺️ finally had a video to share some of these so glad they get noticed ☺️London had definitely changed a lot in the last 5 years, loads of cool new architecture

[@ians3586]

And now I know where there's a pullup bar I can use. I do pullups and chinups as part of my exercise routine and it's always a problem when I'm traveling. Thanks for that!

[@LondonViewpoints]

And best of all it’s a free outdoor gym 😀good luck

[@robert15john]

Excellent video of Canary Wharf

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thank you ☺️

[@walkaholicadam9701]

Great video with some truly incredible footage!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it

[@thecooldude0071]

Looked like a Fab Walk!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Wish the weather was better 😉

[@davidmatthews8081]

The timelapses are breathtaking, I love the planes approaching Heathrow! 🛬

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks, that was such a cool abs unique view of planes landing at Heathrow, traffic frequency is I guess a strong giveaway that that timelapses was shot pre pandemic 😉

[@PK-ql5en]

Just curious: how do you get permissions to enter all those buildings?

[@LondonViewpoints]

Good question, it has come up a few times already so I’m planning to answer that in an upcoming video 👍🏻

[@JenniferElliott1]

I was wondering that myself as I am hoping to get a an amazing view of the city of London. :) Can't wait to hear London viewpoint's answer! :D

[@LondonViewpoints]

@@JenniferElliott1 as this question resurfaces often I’ll address it in a dedicated video in September 👍🏻

[@Pinerocks]

Did you make the video yet?

[@TheIMobile]

Im interested to know how do you get in these buildings to do your hyperlapse? I like to occasionally visit London to take some cityscape photography and would love to get up high

[@LondonViewpoints]

In that case, I’ve got an exciting video for you coming later this month😉

[@wellifthemediasaysit]

What floor were you on, for the timelapse, in the arena tower, my friend? PS, probably my favourite tower there, but OPD is very close, i can't decide!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Two floors from the top of I remember well, 40th ? Or so? Yeah I like OPD visually too but same as with Arena Tower no view for residents of lower floors🤷🏼‍♂️

[@herewegowalks3588]

Love canary wharf! Love this

[@LondonViewpoints]

Me too, thanks, glad you enjoyed the vlog

[@bowwave59]

Great places. Looks like a great place to take my motorcycle and ride round . 👍

[@LondonViewpoints]

Yes, driving around Canary Wharf in general is a cool experience👍🏻

[@blendtrend7587]

Just discover your channel, I love this video. The time lapses you recorded are impressive, how are you been able to get up there?? I walk so many times in Canary Wharf dreaming to enter in one of those skyscrapers 😂

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot, glad the timelapses spiced up the video. The way I’m usually up on roofs is because I’m either shooting commissions for clients, developers, letting agents or occasionally a private individual who knows and enjoys my work invites me to their provider balcony. Good luck 👍🏻

[@scotty4418]

Don't think I have seen a better set of timelapses of London Michael, they were simply stunning. Enjoyed see your walk around the area as I have added a couple of map pins for my visit to London in September. had originally earmarked a day for going around Canary Wharf but I also have a spare day so might see about at least a day and a half. Do you think any parts would be ok to use a tripod, I know around the financial/office area it's problematic?

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a million Scotty, finally though I had a reason to share these so I did and glad you enjoyed them, even though they were either super sped up or just short 4s parts of the full timelapse. Totally would reserve a day of two for Canary Wharf and neighbouring areas. Tripods on the Canary Wharf land are a no-go, don’t waste time setting up as there will be security quickly on you. Anywhere outside of their land, you’ll be ok. There was once an article somewhere online about public/private land map info in London, google it and it will help you a lot 👍🏻

[@scotty4418]

@@LondonViewpoints excellent thank you for the info and will look up the info online

[@elisavetkyriakopoulou7949]

Do you know any skyscrapers there that you can go up and enjoy the view? 😊

[@LondonViewpoints]

Novotel has Bokan bar at the top floor, and Pan Penninsula has Capeesh bar at the top, that’s pretty much it for the public

[@JenniferElliott1]

How did you get to this location at 10:46? As I couldn't seem to find Wood Wharf on goggle maps. :( Fantastic views, photography and time lapse! :)

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks, I just know it’s there, but maybe because it barely just opened to public it wasn’t yet on google maps 🤷🏼‍♂️ it’s there alright 😀👍🏻

[@JenniferElliott1]

@@LondonViewpoints could you give some directions as to where it is? If possible? 🤔

[@LondonViewpoints]

@@JenniferElliott1 hard to miss it once you’re at Canary Wharf, head for the iconic One Park Drive ( skyscraper from thumbnail) and you’ll cross the new bridge and you’re there 👍🏻

[@JenniferElliott1]

@@LondonViewpoints thanks! Hopefully I will find it on my travels! 👍🏻

[@Yasin_2312]

Alot of people are moving to Harbord Square including moi and ma famille

[@LondonViewpoints]

Oh really, that’s cool, if there’s any viewing gallery for the residents, lmk, I’d love to visit as your guest 😀

[@Yasin_2312]

@@LondonViewpoints I’m inform you if there’s any

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

I did indeed enjoy your walk 😉👍🏻

[@LondonViewpoints]

So glad to hear it ☺️ much appreciated

[@R2X2Z]

enjoyed your video! can you share what set-up you're using for your vlog camera? camera, lens, gimbal/tripod, mic, external LCD for composition if any? TIA!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Hey, glad you watched the video, but you must’ve skipped the part where I actually explain the setup ? Literally all that you asked about 😉

[@R2X2Z]

@@LondonViewpoints oops must have stepped out when video was playing in my home office. I have Z6, would 20 1.8S and Weebill S gimbal be a good option? Need a screen for composition when doing vlog style video.

[@LondonViewpoints]

@@R2X2Z yeah I also have the 20mm 1.8 S and love that lens, only use gimbal on paid gigs as it’s too much faff for a vlog, and for the monitoring I use uurig 45degree mirror, it’s good enough , light and needs no batteries

[@wellifthemediasaysit]

SQP has an outdoor terrace on the 56th floor! residents only i think, but there is a great 4k vid on youtube, by crown lettings, or something like that! Great vid!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Ive heard that terrace has great views indeed, but most likely only for residents, one day …

[@aurematic]

Planes cannot be landing on Heathrow but in London City airport

[@LondonViewpoints]

The do land at both, I’m not sure what you mean ?

[@abertolucci9780]

Surprised they allowed you to film here!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Never took out the tripod so I guess handheld was all ok 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@hungbearlover]

If you went back there 35 years ago, hardly nothing there, all closed down, low level warehouses

[@LondonViewpoints]

Yes you’re right, it’s been one hell of a ride at Canary Wharf last 35 years

[@felixdatche9278]

I don't know why KZbinrs always force bogus background music in their videos.

[@LondonViewpoints]

Yeah hate them youtubers too🤣 oh wait, you didn’t mean me ? You’re calling me a KZbinr? Yay I finally made it 🤩

[@MrManny075]

Nothing special just buildings, you want to see real beauty look at the sky

[@LondonViewpoints]

I prefer mountain landscapes too, but as I live here, this is the man made beauty I learned to enjoy

[@stephenwilkinson949]

So far as gardens are concerned I'd rather see plants & trees not stupid mental artwork created by psychopaths .

[@LondonViewpoints]

I do like bonkers arts, but sure, trees are always welcome, but art it cool too

[@steveodonoghue2772]

I wish you would lose that annoying repetitive music .

[@LondonViewpoints]

If that’s the only bad thing about the video, I’ll take that as a compliment as music is everyone’s personal choice 😀
