East India DLR station takes its name from the nearby former East India Docks where ships trading with the Indian subcontinent used to dock. East India Dock is now a nature reserve and is visible from the DLR on the right hand side between East India and Canning Town. The station opened as part of the Beckton Branch, on 28th March 1994. The Greenwich Meridian line crosses the DLR just to the east of the platforms, and a small trackside sign indicates this. East India station was originally to be named Brunswick Wharf and this name was shown on the 1994 'all projections' map.
