Dist:0.1km north<br/>Montesquieu Terrace, looking as though it is going to be pulled down soon. Something went badly wrong, considering it couldn't have been built more than 50 years ago.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>Constructional works in progress for yet another Docklands line. This time, it is a line from Royal Victoria to Stratford International, via Stratford. It is being built on the trackbed that was, until a few years ago, occupied by the North London line service between Richmond, Stratford and North Woolwich. The latter was cut back to Stratford and given new platforms, with its old platforms now to be given to the line under construction here. From Stratford, this line will extend over new right-of-way to Stratford International.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>Canning Town Station nearly did not feature on the Docklands Light Railway network but is becoming and increasingly important hub, particularly with the impending Olympics. This train to Beckton was in fact operating as a shuttle service between Canning Town and Beckton due to rebuilding works at Tower Gateway station in the City. Below can be seen the extensive bus station built at the same time. The canopy at the right hand of the picture shelters what was the platform on the railway to North Woolwich, now superseded by the DLR branch to Woolwich. This platform is being rebuilt to take the new DLR line to Stratford International.

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.
