The most interesting section of the DLR, photographically, is the line from North Quay Junction through West India Quay, Canary Wharf and Heron Quays stations and on through South Quays. Here the railway glides over docks and through skyscrapers as it makes its way through the core of the redeveloped Docklands area.

Looking south from below West India Quay station, across West India Dock North, to Canary Wharf station. The railway has altered significantly since opening. Originally the DLR here consisted of one double-track viaduct running from West India Quay to South Quay; there are now four tracks south from West India Quay and three tracks through six platform faces at Canary Wharf
