The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) is an automated light metro system that serves the London Docklands area of east and south-east London. First opened on 31 August 1987, the DLR was a key component in the regeneration of large areas of disused industrial land into valuable commercial and residential districts. [1]

Planned stations

There are currently two planned projects that will add stations to the DLR network - a new station at Thames Wharf and an extension to Thamesmead.

StationLocal AuthorityOther names [note 4] Notes
Thames Wharf [36] Newham Thameside West [36] Safeguarded as part of the London City Airport extension, [37] the site is currently being used for Silvertown Tunnel construction. Following completion of the tunnel in 2025, 5,000 new homes and a DLR station will be built. [36]
Beckton Riverside [38] Newham Armada Riverside [39] A planned extension of the DLR to Thamesmead, first formally proposed in 2020. As of January 2021, feasibility and technical work is underway. [38] [40] Beckton Riverside was previously proposed as part of the cancelled Dagenham Dock extension.
Thamesmead [38] Greenwich Thamesmead Central [38]

Safeguarded stations

As part of the development of the Docklands Light Railway, several sites were safeguarded for future station construction, some of which have been implemented.

Previously safeguarded

Two stations were safeguarded as part of the initial construction of the railway in the 1980s. [41]
