Gallions Reach serves a residential part of Beckton, the north east corner of the royal docks development area and the new Gallions Reach shopping centre. In addition, the station is on the edge of the vast former Beckton gas works site, the redevelopment of which is just beginning.

A short walk away is the former Gallions Hotel, where travellers could stay before a departing from here in a transcontinental liner. The building is disused, but there is a preservation order on it. Also close by is the location of an earlier Gallions station.
