The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) is an automated light rail system serving the Docklands area of east London.
It complements the London Underground, largely sharing its fares system and having a number of interchanges with it.

The DLR serves over 101 million passengers a year and is an essential piece of infrastructure to East London.
The DLR's most heavily used stations are Bank, Canary Wharf, Canning Town, Lewisham and Woolwich Arsenal.

Partly thanks to the success of Canary Wharf, the system has expanded several times and now has five main branches connecting the Isle of Dogs and Royal Docks to each other and to the City of London, Stratford, Woolwich and Lewisham south of the river.
It also serves London City Airport and Stratford International.
A further extension to Dagenham Dock was proposed, but later cancelled by Mayor of London Boris Johnson in 2008.
 The Dagenham Dock extension has featured in later plans, but its status is uncertain.
