Dist:0.1km north<br/>In 1999, London Transport's Jubilee Line extension opened to the public. Most of it ran underground, but it came up to the surface at the eastern end. Here a train is seen at Canning Town station. The Docklands Light Railway runs on the level above.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>Opened in 1999 it forms an interchange with the Jubilee Line on the Underground and the Docklands Light Railway. It is on the west side of the A1020 Silvertown Way, just south of the A13 flyover, which is visible in the distance to the right.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>Unusually the roundel on the coach side nearest the camera is white on a red background (similar to that used by London Buses) rather then the usual DLR roundel which can be ween on the front of the train

Dist:0.2km north<br/>This carries the very busy A13 (a main route from Central London to South Essex) over a junction with some local roads.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>An eastbound DLR train rounds the very sharp curve at the approach to Canning Town station, with trailing unit No. 35.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>The Docklands Light Railway is above, the Underground is below and to the left is the old North London Line platform, closed in December 2006 and due for conversion into another Docklands Light Railway platform. Here is a link that gives more detail on this station. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canning_Town_station

Dist:0.2km north<br/>Bow Creek is the lower end of the River Lea. This view is south-east from the end of East India Dock Road, across the loop of the river to Canning Town Station.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>It's very difficult to find any old buildings in this area so this one with its 1935 date and simple Art Deco design stands out. It faces onto Silvertown Way at its junction with Brunel Street, and was most recently the Millennium Cafe. Alas, and despite the sign over the door, it appears to have served its last all day breakfast.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>Three different railway lines are on view here for the price of one. In the foreground and to the right are the rusting rails of Network Rail's mothballed North Woolwich branch, closed in December 2006. Beyond the cable rack is the Jubilee Line with a train bound for Stratford about to enter Canning Town station, while on the embankment beyond, and by the pale blue container, is the Docklands Light Railway (DLR). This view was taken from a short side road leading off west from Silvertown Way.
