CANARY Wharf's most ambitious development will cater for up to 20,000 more jobs.
Plans for the seven-hectare Wood Wharf development will be revealed to the public on Monday (November 19), with developers promising a major new community park for the area east of the main part of the estate.
The scheme will also feature homes, offices and a new high street of shops and cafes.

The Wood Wharf Limited Partnership, which incorporates Canary Wharf Group, Ballymore Properties and British Waterways, hopes to be able to submit a planning application early next year.
Chief operating officer Damian Wisniewski said: "Wood Wharf has the potential to deliver thousands of new homes and jobs for the Isle of Dogs and London.
"It will create a fully integrated mixeduse development which will enhance Canary Wharf's reputation as one of the world's most vibrant business centres."
