The station was opened in 2005 as the Docklands Light Railway was extended to
King George V from
Canning Town. The line was later extended further to
Woolwich Arsenal. The station is adjacent to the airport terminal. Unlike most DLR stations the island platform is fully enclosed. It is also one of the few DLR stations with a staffed ticket office.
London bound trains from London City Airport head to either
Bank or
Stratford International. The station is near, though unconnected to, the former
Silvertown station.
