The DLR has three main branches: Bank (in the City), Tower Gateway (near the Tower of London), and Stratford (home to the Olympic Park). They all converge at Canary Wharf, the shiny financial hub.
From there, the railway pushes east to Woolwich Arsenal, Beckton, and Lewisham. Each stop unlocks a different vibe—from street art in Shadwell to riverside pubs in Island Gardens.
Cultural hot tip: Get off at Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich. You’re steps from the Royal Observatory, the Prime Meridian line, and a perfect photo of the old tea clipper. Plus, the market there is gold for vintage finds.
