DLR stop boosts Langdon Park regeneration
A new £7.5 million station opened on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) this week will look to kick-start regeneration in an up-and-coming area of Tower Hamlets.
Between All Saints and Devons Road on the DLR's Stratford branch, the new Langdon Park station has been hailed as a way of connecting up the neighbourhood with others around it and boosting regeneration projects in the area.
DLR connections will now allow Langdon Park residents easy access to job centres like Canary Wharf in the south-bound direction, while also providing a simple transport link to new Olympic hub Stratford.
Ken Livingstone, mayor of London said: "This new Docklands Light Railway station will benefit thousands of families in East London, and will play a key role in supporting the regeneration of the surrounding area.
"It will be vital in giving local residents quick and easy access to the London transport network, and will connect them to all that the capital has to offer."
The project was funded jointly by the Department for Communities and Local Government, the Leaside Regeneration group and the London borough of Tower Hamlets, all hoping to see the rewards in a new sense of inclusion for the area.
