South Dock railway station

South Dock railway station

South Dock railway station was a railway station in the Isle of Dogs, east London. It was located between Millwall Junction and Millwall Docks on the Millwall Extension Railway (MER) branch of the London and Blackwall Railway. It opened on December 18 1871 and served the South Dock of the West India Docks; the station was located at the eastern side of the dock.

Traffic at the station was always light, and it closed to passenger service in 1926, along with the rest of the MER extension, though goods services continued until the docks closed in the 1970s. The area was heavily redeveloped following the Docklands developments of the 1980s and today no trace of the station or the line passing through it remains, although further south the Docklands Light Railway follows the path of the old MER. The station site is now occupied by a works and a private road; several hundred yards to the south-west lies South Quay DLR station.
