“This was London, in all its filth and glory. Nostalgic for the past, while yearning to cast off the chains of bygone ages and step forward into the bright utopia of the future. Proud of its achievements, yet despising its own flaws. A monster in both size and nature, that would consume the unwary and spit them out again, in forms unrecognizable and undreamt.

London's innovative, driverless Docklands Light Railway (DLR) serves parts of East and South East London.

The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) connects with the Tube network at Bank and Tower Gateway (Tower Hill) stations and also at Shadwell, Stratford, Bow, Heron Quays, Canning Town and Canary Wharf. The DLR serves Beckton, Stratford and London City Airport to the East and North East, and Docklands, Greenwich and Lewisham to the South.

The DLR also connects with London's cable car, the Emirates Air Line, at Royal Victoria.

The DLR runs from 5.30am-12.30am, Monday-Saturday, and from 7am-11.30pm on Sunday. DLR fares are the same as the Tube.

You can pay for your DLR fare with a Visitor Oyster card, Oyster card or Travelcard as well ascontactless payment cards. If you pay with a Visitor Oyster card, Oyster card or contactless payment card, the fare is the same. For contactless payment cards issued outside the UK, check for any transaction fees or bank charges that may apply.


Things to Do on the DLR

For information on events and activities within easy reach of a DLR station, including family days out, restaurants, shopping and more.

Accessibility Information

All DLR stations have lift or ramp access to the platforms, with level access onto the trains. All lifts have alarms enabled, which allow you to talk directly with a member of DLR staff should you experience any problems.

Platforms are as level with trains as possible for easy access. The gap between the platform edge and the train is approximately 7.5cm wide and the step up/down from the platform to the train is approximately 5cm high.

Most wheelchair users find boarding/alighting smoothest with the largest wheel first – this may mean reversing as appropriate.
