The station at North Woolwich was opened in 1847 although the terminal building dates from 1854. In latter years it acted as the eastern end of the North London Line from Richmond, but that service was cut back to Stratford in 2006 and the station here closed to passengers. The area is now served by the Docklands Light Railway which has a station nearby. For some years there was a railway museum based here but that too closed in 2008 leaving the rather splendid building disused and boarded up.
