Cutty Sark DLR station reopened on Monday, following a lengthy closure for improvement work.

Transport for London (TfL) say they have improved the customer experience at the station, which includes:

- The installation of new escalators.

- A new lift that provides more reliability and quicker access for all.

- New energy-efficient LED lighting and new bright wall coverings

- New local artwork installed in collaboration with Visit Greenwich, celebrating the local area and enhancing the station’s visual appeal.

Tom Page, General Manager for the DLR, said: “We’re delighted to announce that an improved Cutty Sark station will reopen earlier than expected in late March, ready to welcome customers back through newly modernised and more reliable station facilities. These improvements will make a real difference to customer journeys and support the continued growth and vibrancy of the Greenwich area.”

Here are some pictures of the improved station.
