Heron Quays

Heron Quays is a DLR station integrated into an office tower complex in Canary Wharf, serving the southern section of the district and connecting to central London. The facility is embedded within the building and provides access to surrounding developments.

The station opened in 1987 as part of the original DLR expansion into Canary Wharf. It underwent complete reconstruction between 2001 and 2002 to support the expanding financial district.

The station displays a commemorative plaque marking the 1982 aircraft landing that led to London City Airport's creation. This connection links the location to the area's aviation heritage.

The station offers frequent services with multiple trains per hour during peak times, connecting to destinations like Bank, Lewisham, and Stratford. Since the facility is embedded in the office tower, exploring the access routes and connections within the building is helpful.

The platforms were specifically designed to accommodate three-unit trains, playing a key role in London's DLR capacity expansion. This design allowed the facility to handle growing demand across the financial district.
