The £1.7 billion DLR extension to Thamesmead has officially been green-lit, marking one of the biggest transport upgrades London has seen in years. This video breaks down everything you need to know: the route from Beckton to Thamesmead via Gallions Reach, the new stations at Beckton Riverside and Thamesmead, the 2027 construction start and 2032 opening target, and how the project could unlock 25,000 homes, 10,000 jobs, and drastically shorter commute times to Canary Wharf and Stratford. We also explore the human impact for 400,000 residents in one of London’s most underserved areas, the funding model involving TfL and the GLA, the political backing from the government, the hidden risks, potential delays, and what this means for future transport schemes across southeast London. If delivered on time, the extension could transform Thamesmead into a major new community and spark the next generation of east-London regeneration.
