A striking glass drum

What a wonderful Transport for London station Canada Water is.
It was one of the first built for the Jubilee Line extension and features glass 'drum' which is some 25metres across. 
It can only be described as striking as it lets in natural light deep into the station
The 'drum covers a deep opening descending to the Jubilee Line platforms 22 metres below
The station is was built on a derelict site formerly occupied by Albion Dock, part of the old Surrey Commercial  Docks
