Site Information on Canary Wharf?

mdineen06

Does anyone know where I can get reliable info to build a site model of Canary Wharf? I'm especially looking for building footprints and heights. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

google earth for the aerial context, search for the detailed overlay in 'google hacks' and install to increase the resolution.

building foorprints can be photocopied from the Ordenence Survey map located at a local library - since you are not close promap may be of use for a DWG version but you have to pay.

As for the heights I can only think of a field trip, some photography and some floor counting for a rough estimate.
