Local people are invited to give their views on TfL’s proposals to bring the Docklands Light Railway to Thamesmead. 

This new transport hub would sit in the north of Thamesmead in SE28 – the only London postcode without a rail or tube station. As well as creating better connections, it’ll also lead to an improved and expanded town centre, outstanding green spaces and thousands of much needed homes.

You can find out more about TfL’s proposals and what they could mean for you by heading to their next consultation event: 

When: Saturday 19 July 2025, 10am to 2pm
Where: Thamesmere Leisure Centre, Thamesmere Drive, SE28 8RE
