The station was originally opened by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1855 with a rebuilding in 1891 [1]. In British Rail days the station was served by the North London Line but the station closed in 2006 by then much simplified, though parts of the 1891 station survived until 1969. However, in 1994 the Docklands Light Railway opened a station adjacent to the original heavy rail station on the DLR's extension to Beckton. The original station has been replaced by the Elizabeth Line station which oepned in 2022.

The station is next to ExCeL exhibition centre which is connected to the station via a walkway. The Elizabeth Line and DLR parts of the station are on the same level.
