Despite my jokes about it, I really didn't expect Canary Wharf to be the Whoniverse-related place in the UK to fuck me up the most, but it just won the prize.

It just looks like a place where the end of the world would happen. But then again, maybe that's just because I once worked in (WTC) Tower 2, and these sorts of business plaza things are really all the same.

Have you ever read Grant Morrison's "The Invisibles"? The first big story arc has a character have a urban-visionquest-breakthrough moment on the roof of Canary Wharf.

Buildings like Canary Wharf and WTC have (or had) no human scale in their design. That, and they have no elements that look like they were made by actual flesh and blood people. I could totally see Cybermen liking it for those reasons...
