Heron Quays is a light metro station on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) Bank to Lewisham Line in the Heron Quays area of Canary Wharf in East London.

History

[edit]

Originally open-air, the station was reconstructed in 2001-2002 (to fit inside a new high-rise development by Morgan Stanley and Lehman Brothers).[8]

Design

[edit]

Longer platforms were built to accommodate three-unit trains planned as part of the DLR Capacity Enhancement. Designed by Alsop Architects, the station re-opened on 18 December 2002.[8][9]

Location

[edit]

The station is situated on the Isle of Dogs and serves the southern part of the Canary Wharf office complex and is directly connected to the Jubilee Place underground shopping centre. The station is elevated and contained within one of the complex's office towers.

The station is in London fare zone 2, and is on the Lewisham branch of the Docklands Light Railway, between Canary Wharf and South Quay.
