Morgan Stanley Pedestrian Bridge I - Morgan Stanley owns its own SOM-designed building on Canary Wharf.

Morgan Stanley Pedestrian Bridge II - The bridge is a verendiel steel HMS truss resting on caissons set in the dock. The bridge ends punch through the exterior walls of the buildings it connects, bracing the bridge against the facade structure of each building. An additional bay, at 2nd floor level, matching the original construction, was added to the Morgan Stanley building (left side in larger photo) to provide landing space and allow the bridge to sit symmetrically between the buildings.

Morgan Stanley Pedestrian Bridge IV - Recent photo, and perhaps the last one. Goggle Earth now shows the bridge having been removed - only the caissons with their concrete caps projecting above the water remain. It was installed with the agreement between Morgan Stanley and Canary Wharf Management that should Morgan Stanley relinquish their leased space in No. 20 Cabott Square, the bridge would be removed.
