A canopy of umbrellas arrived at Reuters Plaza on Monday morning to publicise Canary Wharf's new Wi-fi.
O2 is operating the technology which offers web connection in all public areas, including parks, malls and streets.
The 'UK's biggest umbrella' measuring six by eight metres took three weeks to create and is made up of over 500 individual umbrellas.
It will remain near the Tube entrance for two weeks and is expected to cover 1.2 million people during this period.
Eric van der Kleij, specialist technology advisor to Canary Wharf Group, said: "Wi-fi is a vital utility for businesses and the public. We are delighted to partner with O2 to bring free wifi access to the entire Canary Wharf community.
Canary Wharf is an original smart city.
"Our built environment is one of the most technological advanced in the capital, so it was important for us to have a wifi provider that is experienced in delivering high quality services to ensure effortless access for those based in or visiting Canary Wharf."
