Situated between All Saints and Devons Road stations on the Docklands Light Railway route to Stratford, the station has been funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government, Leaside Regeneration and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in recognition of the significant benefits and opportunities it will create.

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 station, which has been built on what was one of the longest gaps on the Docklands Light Railway network, is located at the heart of the Teviot and Lansbury estates, adjacent to Langdon Park itself and close to Langdon Park School. The station includes CCTV, passenger information displays, help points, Oyster card validators and step-free access to platforms.

Costain rail director, Ken Stewart, said: “With Langdon Park and the recent opening of St Pancras International, Costain has underlined its expertise in the rail sector and provided many good reasons as to why Costain will continue to be a leader in this growing market.”
