The shot of Canary Wharf was taken from Borthwick Street (with the blue marker on the map) - that plot is being redeveloped, I guess into residential units, and I was able to squeeze my lens through a gap in the fence.

Sekkle - thanks! - Next update due in March!

EDIT - Just googled that Borthwick St redevelopment. It seems those arches were part of a Wharf that had been (controversially) partially demolished, and was due to be deathmasked into a new block housing a restaurant, gallery and offices. Apparently, it was due to be finished in 2009 but got put on hold with the recession.
