The Canary Wharf area is probably pretty flood proof.

I know that is a bit of a far-fetched claim, given that I live on the 
other side in Rotherhithe where streets are below high water level and 
there are pictures of flooded streets.

If anyone is on the Isle of Dogs, look out for the two pumping stations. 
In times of storm surge they pump water across the Island, disposing of 
it quicker than allowing it to run round Island Gardens.

Also look at Google imagery of Barrier Park

Have a close look at the diagonal structure which ends at the A1020 text 
box.
