List of Docklands Light Railway stations

The Docklands Light Railway 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.
The system has been extended multiple times, and now reaches north to Stratford, south to Lewisham, west to and in the City of London financial district, and east to Beckton, London City Airport and Woolwich Arsenal.
Stations are in the City of London and the boroughs of Newham, Tower Hamlets, Greenwich and Lewisham with the majority of the network north of the River Thames. Of the 45 stations, four are underground: Woolwich Arsenal, Island Gardens, Bank and [Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich station|Greenwich DLR station|Cutty Sark].

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.

Station	Local Authority	Other names	Notes
Thames Wharf	Newham	Thameside West	Safeguarded as part of the London City Airport extension, 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.
Beckton Riverside	Newham	Armada Riverside	A planned extension of the DLR to Thamesmead, first formally proposed in 2020., feasibility and technical work is underway. Beckton Riverside was previously proposed as part of the cancelled Dagenham Dock extension.
Thamesmead	Greenwich	Thamesmead Central	A planned extension of the DLR to Thamesmead, first formally proposed in 2020., feasibility and technical work is underway. Beckton Riverside was previously proposed as part of the cancelled Dagenham Dock extension.

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.

Pudding Mill Lane, located alongside the Great Eastern Main Line between Stratford and Bow Church. The station opened in 1996.
Langdon Park, located between All Saints and Devons Road. Planned as "Carmen Street", the station opened in 2007.

No longer proposed

Thames Wharf, located south of Canning Town, was safeguarded during the construction of the Beckton extension. Given construction of flying junctions for access to the Stratford International and Woolwich Arsenal branches of the DLR, construction of this station is no longer possible. A new safeguarded site for a Thames Wharf station was constructed as part of the London City Airport extension.
Connaught, located on a straight section of viaduct between Prince Regent and Royal Albert stations, was safeguarded during the construction of the Beckton extension in the 1990s. The site was close to the long closed Connaught Road station. Although a straight section of viaduct remains, the station is not currently proposed, despite recent development in the local area such as ExCeL London and London Regatta Centre.

Currently proposed

Thames Wharf was safeguarded as part of the London City Airport extension, with a straight section of viaduct. 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.
