Thames Wharf is a planned Docklands Light Railway station in the Royal Docks, East London. The station name was previously proposed for another station in the area.

Beckton branch station[]

In 1994 the proposed location was between Canning Town and Royal Victoria, adjacent to the Limmo Peninsula.[6] Given construction of flying junctions for access to the Stratford International and Woolwich Arsenal branches of the DLR, construction of this station is no longer possible.[7]

Woolwich Arsenal branch station[]

As part of the construction of the London City Airport extension in the mid 2000s, a gap in the viaduct due west of the western end of Royal Victoria Dock, between Canning Town and West Silvertown stations - was passively safeguarded for a future station.[8] Development is restricted by safeguarding for a future river crossing, and the area is surrounded by brownfield and industrial sites.[9]

In the 2010s, a new Thames river crossing was announced - the Silvertown Tunnel. Following the completion of the tunnel in 2025,[10] around 5,000 homes will be built on the site, and a new DLR station would be constructed.[11][12] As part of the 2018 budget, the Chancellor announced funding for the DLR to support this and other development in the Royal Docks.[13] Funding for the station was put on hold in June 2021. [14]
