Suggestions for Light Rail Station near Royal Docks, London

The Orange O. • April 16, 2016This is the first of the two DLR Crossings - between King George V and Woolwich Arsenal. Not much to see, really, but certainly the fastest way!!

Sheetal U. • December 4, 2023Wheelchair accessible station. Coffee shop right outside too.

Luke G. • September 27, 2012Good service but the DLR should run more frequently.

Carl K. • December 19, 2011If it is windy, stand by the lifts for shelter.

David J. • October 28, 2011They will be rehearsing the Olympic opening and closing ceremonies on the waste ground near the station. Should be good views from the platform for those with no real tickets :-)

Christopher C. • January 4, 2017Perfect location with a short walk to residential buildings and beautiful scenery of the Thames

Beata Y. • August 10, 2014Easy commute to the centre of London

George K. • April 25, 2019Inaccessible from the main road, so be careful if you're a pedestrian. Until the development of the adjacent site is complete, there might be trouble getting around.

Mark J. • May 7, 2012Nice views of the city airport runway from the nearby dockside.

Fish F. • June 12, 2012When the sh*t goes down, you better be ready!

JOHN D. • June 21, 2012La Barrique opens at 0600 for coffee in the morning and stays open late for evening drinks :-)

Rick A. • December 30, 2010Trains every 10 mins to Tower Gateway, and trains to Blackwall from 10am - 4pm

Chris H. • March 12, 2015A rather big station with frequent DLR trains and regular trains. Appears to be well maintained.

Steve H. • March 19, 2013Not many trains and very crowded at peaks. Plan your journey!

Henry C. • January 19, 2014Walk round to Trinity Buoy Wharf and eat at Fatboys Diner... Fantastic burgers and milkshakes!

John C. • October 13, 2012Outdoor Ping Pong Table here!!!

Bruno B. • December 1, 2015You can take the Tower Gateway trains and change at Shadwell for the Bank DLR... Much less wait :)

Akku c. • December 10, 2017The tunnel of DLR underneath the River Thames was constructed by Japanese Nishimatsu Construction Co. in 1999 with Shield Tunneling Method developed by Sir Marc Isambard Brunel,the British engineer.

Mark J. • June 26, 2011The old Poplar Baths is just outside the station (turn left). Quite an interesting old building.

Hilmi R. • February 28, 2011Take the Stratford bound if you're not going past Canary Wharf. It's always empty!

Matt G. • April 19, 2011If you are lucky you might see Sammy the seal having a swim

Joost B. • May 5, 2012The station now has a Barclays bike station - nearly always full (good to take a bike but you may need to go to the Crossharbour/ASDA BB spot to park it again)

Liam H. • January 12, 2012Go to the steam ship pub at leamouth round about on a Friday night it's blinding

Jack S. • August 17, 2022Platform 1 for London City Airport towards Woolwich Arsenal & for Beckton. Platform 2 for Stratford. Platform 3 for Canary Wharf & Greenwich towards Lewisham. Platform 4 for Tower Gateway & Bank.

The Orange O. • April 16, 2016This is the second of the two DLR Crossings - between Island Gardens and Cutty Sark. Watch the tunnel from the front of the train!!

Liam B. • September 21, 2013The Beatles "Abbey Road DLR" isn't one of their best albums...

Naty R. • August 29, 2012The DLR is quite inside of the shopping mall and inside of train the Canary Wharf's view is amazing!

Phoebe L. • June 13, 2013Always catch the Jubilee line from here. Much easier than changing at Canary Wharf.
