Canning Town & Beckton

Canning Town is a modern neighbourhood in the East London. It served as a stage for some of the Olympic Games of 2012. Some of those buildings represent interesting achitecture alongside the modern skyscrapers and the DLR (lifted train) that runs here. There are few tower cranes and warehouses reminding of the dockland history. Beckton, a little way to the east from Canning Town, is a quiet neighbourhood with residential houses and a city farm. I don't know where to draw the borders between these areas, so I'm presenting them all together.
