West India Quay DLR Station

You know, I have real love for the DLR network but I never actually got the point of this station in relation to its proximity to Canary Wharf DLR station — for that matter, Heron Quays gets thrown into this as well.
West India Quay & Heron Quays are so close to Canary Wharf station that if you put a ladder, long plank of wood or rope between them you could easily walk, run or climb to Canary Wharf.
West India Quay is ideal for the shops, cinema, bars and hotel at Hertsmere Road and of course people who are heading further into Tower Hamlets. Other than that, it is a quiet station with nothing going on there except waiting for the frequently running trains.
DLR should have just elongated Canary Wharf station to encompass both these bookend stations.

Many of the Docklands Light Railway stations are elevated and West India Quay (pronounced «key») is no exception. There is step-​free access from street level to the platforms with a lift («elevator»). This is the best station to use if you’re looking to reach the Museum of the Docklands and the Marriott hotel.
The station is quote close to the Canary Wharf and Poplar DLR stations.
The station is in Travelcard Zone 2. There are no ticket barricades, but there are automated ticket vending machines and Oyster readers. The DLR is often patrolled by ticket collectors, so I’d really not recommend taking the chance of not having a ticket.

Too much building work going on at the moment to give you the full picture but as DLR stations go, this one isn’t the best
The layout is shocking, I’ve never got lost on a staircase running for a train but lo and behold, I did here! The fact that this is a building site at the moment also doesn’t help to try and gain access to the platforms and the open plan nature of these stations is completely lost.
