Pudding Mill Lane

Pudding Mill Lane is a Docklands Light Railway station located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in East London.

The plans for the DLR to Stratford included an option for a station at Pudding Mill Lane, to be called Stratford South. Funding was not available to build the station, but the location was one of two places safeguarded for future development.

Pudding Mill Lane was opened on 15 January 1996. Previously this location had been a simple passing point for trains on the otherwise single-tracked section between Stratford and Bow Church.

The name of the station is taken from the nearby Pudding Mill Lane which, in turn, takes its name from the former Pudding Mill River, a minor tributary of the River Lea.

During the 2012 Olympic Games, Pudding Mill Lane station was temporarily closed for safety reasons as, while ideally situated to serve the Olympic site, it was far too small to cope with the probable passenger numbers.

The original station closed after the final service of 17 April 2014 and the replacement opened on 28 April.
