Flew into London City the other day and used DLR station to head into the city. The station is…read moreattached to the airport and is merely 20 steps away from the terminal! The trickiest part is payment as it is on the honor system... Payment can be made via single fare tickets, an Oyster card, or any contactless payment device (i.e. Apple Pay, Google Pay, any watch or credit card that has the "Wifi" symbol) Payment via contactless payment will be the cheapest and one merely needs to tap the yellow 3 feet podium before going up the stairs!

Very efficient DLR station that brings rail to air. It's located right at the London City Airport…read moremain entrance, so there is not a whole lot of walking going on. Good signage. It's pretty much "Airport that-a-way". I suppose there are people who live in the area that use this station too. It is in Travelcard Zone 3. Like the entire DLR system, there are no ticket barricades. You must remember to buy a ticket or swipe your Oyster card. The DLR system does have ticket inspectors and the fine can be sharpish.

Numerous bus connections around the area as well as DLR to Canning Town and Stratford.

On the line that goes to London City, Pontoon Dock is close to hotels that serve the airport as…read morewell as a number of large apartment towers and residential neighborhoods. It is in Travelcard Zone 3 on the Woolwich Arsenal line, between West Silvertown and the London City Airport stations. There are Oyster readers and an automated ticket vending machine, but is not a staffed station. Like much of the DLR, it is elevated above street level and has step-free access from the platform to the street. You'll want to follow the signs, as the opposite direction is a few flights of stairs. Bonus: there a really good view of the City from the platform.
