Visiting the trail
We can't wait for you to come and discover the Canary Wharf canines at Paws on the Wharf!
The total trail distance is approximately five and a half kilometres but is set out in 'Areas'. Each Area has a cluster of sculptures. That way, you can choose to visit as many areas as you wish.
We have a free accessible trail map that you can download, plus different options to help you with visiting and experiencing the trail.
