Tower Gateway

Does it's job well enough for a station this close to the capital that isn't underground. Step free access is provided as well as escelators too. The Tower of London as well as Tower Bridge are close by.

Lovely place

Good terminus for the DLR if you are not looking to transfer to other underground lines. Close to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge so good point to start sightseeing. DLR trains from here run to Beckton so need to change at Shadwell it Limehouse for Lewisham or Woolwich. Never more than a few minutes wait on same platform. Limehouse has better cover than Shadwell and also tends to be less crowded.

Dlr is great as you get to see out the front and it is quick amongst other things but this is about tower gateway station To get here from the tube go to tower Hill. Trains every 8mins in peak and every 15 not in the peak. The original glass architectural design is great from the inside and out. The one way system on the platforms is good for crowd control (but seeing as it has trains only to beckton and is hard to get that is not often an issue). No barriers here make it easy to board quickly.

Used this to take the DLR to work everyday and it almost never failed me! Just get off on the opposite side to which the voice recording tells you. It's more convenient. And you might encounter a man playing the bagpipes under the bridge. It's kinda nice.
