Tower Gateway DLR station
Tower Gateway is a Docklands Light Railway station near the Tower of London on Tower Hill. It was opened in 1987 as the original western terminus of the initial DLR system, serving the City of London financial district, but has now been by-passed by the later tunnel extension to Bank which diverges from the original routing between Tower Gateway and Shadwell, the next station to the east.
Tower Gateway still functions as a terminus for the less busy DLR service to Beckton but access to other branches of the DLR requires a change. It provides good access to the Tower of London area, and is easily accessed from Tower Hill tube station and Fenchurch Street railway station by overground footpaths. The station is located in zone 1.
