A Look Back in Time
The Crossharbour DLR station first opened its doors on 31 August 1987. When it first opened, it was simply called "Crossharbour."
In 1994, the station's name was changed to "Crossharbour and London Arena." This was because a large entertainment venue called the London Arena was built nearby. People used the station to get to concerts and events there.
However, the London Arena was taken down in 2006. After that, the station's name went back to its original, simpler name: "Crossharbour."
