There are still ways to escape, like via the DLR and some connections to
National Rail.

True. I haven't used the DLR for ages though, but don't the train captains
still check tickets?

Yes, fairly often. I was checked last Thursday (last time I used the
DLR). Probly less likely in the rush hour, but one can't rely on
getting through a half hourish journey in the off peak without a check.
