Blackwall is a
Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station in
Blackwall area of
Poplar in
London, England. It is located very close to the northern entrance to the
Blackwall road tunnel under the
River Thames. The station is on the
Beckton branch of the DLR between
Poplar and
East India stations.
The DLR station opened, with the Beckton Branch, on 28 March 1994. There was a previous station very close to this site, called
Poplar station, which was served by the
London and Blackwall Railway from 6 July 1840 to 3 May 1926. Poplar station was along the route of Aspen Way just to the south and east of the DLR station.
Blackwall station on the London and Blackwall Railway was actually farther east, on what is today Jamestown Way. A crossover west of the station allows trains from Beckton and Poplar to reverse here.
