Blimey. It's an airport. As a Londoner, I go to Gatwick, Heathrow,
Luton, Stansted or City, depending on where my flight is going from.
I've never chosen an airport and then seen where I can fly to.


This is a local airport for local people, there's nothing here for people
like you.

and the DLR already provides good local
connectivity, including multiple stops in the Canary Wharf area. It also
has good links with the Jubilee line, and slightly less good with the
Central and District/H&C lines.

The only stations with both DLR to LCY and Crossrail will be Stratford
(a bit out of the way from Central London) and Woolwich/Arsenal (a bit
of a walk in not the best of areas to be carting luggage).


Canary Wharf is only a short walk between the stations.

No direct trains to LCY.

Incidentally, I'm baffled by the scale of construction at Stepney Green.
I assumed that the finished site would have either nothing or a little
fan shaft emergency escape jobbie. But there seem to be at least three
buildings more than 30 metres long.



This site gives multiple views of the mid-construction situation with a
long north-south hole in 7 segments. WTF!
