Canary Wharf is a major business district in London, known for its tall, modern towers and financial institutions. The name combines Canary, a color/didelity reference from the Canary Islands, with Wharf, a fortified riverfront quay. As a proper noun, it refers specifically to this district, not to the canary bird or a generic wharf. The pronunciation is two-word, stress on Canary, with typical British vowels and rhythm.
