Limehouse railway station was a railway station in Limehouse, London, on the London and Blackwall Railway (L&BR). It opened on 6 July 1840 on Three Colt Street between Stepney station (which after several renamings is the present Limehouse station) and West India Docks station and it closed on 3 May 1926. The line carried goods services to the Isle of Dogs until the 1960s. In the 1980s the viaduct it stood on was reused for the City branch of the Docklands Light Railway. Limehouse (L&BR) station never re-opened but Westferry DLR station stands 200 yards to the east of its site.
