London's innovative, driverless Docklands Light Railway (DLR) serves parts of East and South East London.
The 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 new cable car, the Emirates Air Line, at Royal Victoria.
The DLR runs from 5.30am to 12.30am Monday to Saturday and from 7am to 11.30pm on Sunday. Fares are the same as those on the Tube, and Oyster and Travelcard holders can use the DLR.
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, take a look at TfL's DLR Things To Do page.
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. For more information visit the accessibility pages on the Transport for London website
