Depends on your definition of London really. If you take it to be the
whole length of the Thames covered by the Port of London Authority, then
you can include Tilbury.

Where is there a container port less than 300 metres walk from a tube
station?

There seems to be one at the mouth of the Walbrook, which my A - Z
implies might be Bell Wharf.

Although accessed via Bell Wharf Lane, it's actually called Walbrook Wharf.
There's a crane which moves on rails along the shore, with a head that runs
in and out over the river. The Thames Path has a covered walkway beneath the
crane's locus, with level crossing-type barriers and signs stating that the
path may be shut for up to fifteen minutes, presumably because the roof of
the covered walkway is not strong enough to catch a falling container.
Actually, I should have made the quiz question about the unlevel crossing...
then maybe no-one would have got it!

Ah. I had seen it in operation, but I didn't know what it was called
(or really what it was for, but should have been able to guess).

Isn't that for the rubbish barges?
