Beckton	sunken in centre of roundabout	28th March 1994	2

Cyprus station is named after the nearby Victorian estate of Cyprus, itself named in honour of the British colonisation of that Mediterranian island. As well as serving this residential area, the station is next to the Docklands campus of the University of East London, itself part of the royal docks development area.

The station is sunken in the centre of a roundabout on Royal Albert Way. Access is from a footway to the north, and directly into the UEL campus to the south.
