'Custom House station' is in the
Custom House area by the
Royal Docks, east
London. It is served by the
Docklands Light Railway (DLR), and is in
Travelcard Zone 3. It takes its name from the old Custom House, which formerly stood nearby.
The station opened in 1855, on the
Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway, which eventually became merged into the
North London Line. The DLR station opened on
28 March 1994 as part of the extension to
Beckton. The North London Line platforms were closed on
9 December 2006 after the closure of the
Stratford to
North Woolwich section of the line.
It is the principal public transport access to the
ExCeL Exhibition Centre and its adjacent complex of hotels, restaurants and bars. It is linked to the main entrance of the exhibition centre by an overhead walkway, which also connects to the
Royal Victoria Dock Bridge, spanning the
Royal Victoria Dock to its southern side.
The proposed
Crossrail line 1's
Dartford branch will call at Custom House.
