Heron Quays DLR station
|
|
Heron Quays is a Docklands Light Railway station on the Isle of Dogs in east London. It serves the southern part of the Canary Wharf office complex and is directly connected to that complex's Jubilee Place underground shopping mall. The station is elevated and contained with one of the complex's office towers.
The station is in Travelcard Zone 2, and is on the Lewisham branch of the DLR, between Canary Wharf and South Quay. It is about two minutes walk from Canary Wharf tube station, either at street level or via Jubilee Place.
The station was moved 200 metres South (to fit inside the new buildings) and a longer platform created at this new site to accommodate the "three carriage trains" (part of the DLR Capacity Enhancement): the station was re-opened in December 2002.
