West India Docks railway station
- West India Docks railway station
West India Docks railway station was a railway station in the north of the Isle of Dogs, London, on the London and Blackwall Railway, between Limehouse and Millwall Junction stations. As the name implies, the station served the West India Docks, though it was located on the north side of the northernmost of the three docks; the L&BR was later extended to Millwall Docks to serve the other two docks.
West India Docks opened on 6 July 1840 and was closed to passenger service on 3 May 1926, along with the rest of the L&BR east of Stepney. Today, no trace of the station remains, and the surrounding area has been heavily redeveloped. The station was located on the south side of Garford Street, west of the modern-day Aspen Way. The Docklands Light Railway line between Westferry and West India Quays runs through the station site, although the viaduct it runs on has been completely rebuilt.
