    I suspect that the existence of this station has a lot to do with the existence of the Millenium…read moreDome, or rather the O2 as it is known as now. Like, yeah, it isn't bad, that is as long as you don't have to deal with a huge crowd pouring out of the O2 after a concert because then it becomes ridiculously packed. Mind you, I'd hardly be using it again considering what I think of the O2.

    North Greenwich Station is a London Underground and Emirates Air Line Station which serves The O2…read moreArena - unlike most stations towards the East London (Canada Water, Stratford, Canar Wharf etc) end of the Jubilee line, it is mainly an overpowering dark blue colour which makes the station feel less modern - not only that the station seems to get dirty really quickly because of its' design and it looks like a red herring and is out of sync/order to the preceding stations - I'm not sure if this is due to it serving The O2 arena which is sponsored by O2 who's logo is that shade of blue and that's the closest to sponsorship you're going to get on the London Underground. Overall, the station was pretty easy to follow with two lifts (fully step-free from tube to the street) rather than having to walk a distance longer than your actual journey which is far too common and frustrating at other stations in Central London. The Station also has a WHSmith, but it is a poor branch - right across the way you have multiple shops, restaurants and a Starbucks inside The O2 which is handy. The station is in Zone 2 and 3, meaning if you want to travel into central London afterwards and pay via OYSTER or contactless it is capped at £7 per day which is a really good deal. It is also served by multiple bus services which are handy. They had a message of good-will and positivity right on the station balcony near the lifts between the ticket-gates and platforms which was nice to see. It's a shame I didn't get those good, friendly vibes from the staff at the ticket-gates who just seemed miserable, albeit I would be if I had to work Underground with only intermittent Virgin station wifi to keep me going. Obviously built for the O2 Arena access but still a fine tube station in its own right despite it being sponsored all but in name by O2 - nothing spectacular obviously. 3*

    Docklands Light Railway (DLR) is a metro system in London, perhaps it doesn't get the same…read morepublicity as the London buses as well as Underground and Overground, but it still is an important service, serving multiple locations including Canary Wharf. It is owned 70% by Keolis. Trains run between 7.5 and 15 miles per hour, so it perhaps isn't the speed you'd be used to on the tube, but it does vary with some stations Underground, and the rest (majority) overground including the likes of Tower Gateway. A large amount of the stations on the DLR are in the East London area including Tower Gateway, Stratford (and International) etc, but it does expand further to the likes of Bank and Lewisham. The trains themselves don't tend to be too comfortable, I personally found them far too bumpy to the point I was literally shaking and highly uncomfortable. The prices tend to be the same as any transport in London, and as the tube and buses, you can use them for the Daily cap with Oyster, as you can on the buses, trams and tube etc. All stations are step-free which is handy if you're planning a route and you need extra assistance. The one staff member I saw on a DLR service seemed really rude and unhelpful, he seemed disinterested in my feedback or even questions regarding the service. Trains were frequent but really uncomfortable, of course, it isn't as fast or broad (the network) as the tube, but sometimes certain routes can be better, quicker or easier so it isn't terrible, but it needs to do a lot to make the journeys on the network pleasurable. 2*

    The DLR is efficient, clean and smooth. So many things that the regular Underground can't be thanks…read moreto it's 150 year old tunnels and rather ancient trains. The only bummer is that it doesn't go nearly far enough to the West side of London. You East-enders don't know how good you have it! Parts of it are almost like riding the monorail at Disney World. Clear views of the city when you're above ground through big glass windows. The trains don't have onboard drivers, which can be a little weird and takes getting used to.

    Heron Quays DLR station opened in 1987, which was also the year the DLR commenced in London, it is…read morein the Canary Wharf area at the other side of Jubilee Place mall, so they are surely within walking distance, perhaps two minutes or so away via a DLR service. As with any DLR station, it is step-free and the station seemed quite clean as well. The station appeared to be unstaffed but that didn't seem to be a problem as the station was easy to follow. It is in Fare Zone 2, which is common for East London based on trips to Canary Wharf, West Ham and Stratford on either the DLR or Underground on a recent trip to the capital. 12 trains per hour in both directions run from the station, around every 5 minutes to either Bank or Lewisham so it is pretty frequent, but for me, this station mainly serves as somewhere to get into Canary Wharf if you're feeling a little lazy, with a large number of services running through there which you can't get from here, odds are if you're travelling from Heron Quays here, you would have to go to Canary Wharf anyway, or another station along the route, for example, I had to change at Westferry to get onto Tower Gateway. Serving the southern part of Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs, this station is clean and easy to follow so that deserves three-stars, it is let down by being unstaffed, having fewer routes than nearby stations, and the touching in and out pads being less obvious again compared to other stations on the DLR, as unlike the tube you don't need to pass through a gate, it's just something you tap on the side. There wasn't any at all on the platform! 3*

    Amazingly modern with step-free access (lift and escalator) from street level and onto the trains,…read morethere's no minding the gap here. Heron Quays is part of the Docklands Light Rail system and is a very short walk from the Canary Wharf station on the Jubilee Line. Easy access to the ticket barricades and Oyster readers, Heron Quays is in Zone Two. I wish the rest of the Underground could be this nice, but this is new and Baker Street was opened 150 years ago.
