Docklands Light Railway
The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) is a cornerstone of East London’s transport infrastructure, uniquely blending futuristic technology with the historic backdrop of the city's former docks. Since its opening in 1987 with just 15 stations, it has grown into a major 45-station network spanning the City of London, Canary Wharf, Stratford, and Greenwich. It handles approximately 97.8 million passenger journeys annually. If you’ve ever ridden it, you know the unwritten rule: if the front seat is empty, you take it. Because the trains are driverless, sitting at that front window turns a trip to the office into a panoramic tour of the city. You’re elevated above the streets, weaving between the glass giants of Canary Wharf one minute and skimming past the quiet, historic waterways of the old docks the next. It’s the best "free" sightseeing tour in the capital.
