South Quay is a Docklands Light Railway station on the Isle of Dogs, in London. It is between Crossharbour and Heron Quays stations and is in Travelcard Zone 2.
South Quay station opened in 1987, and is a standard DLR phase 1 elevated station, subsequently extended to permit the use of 2 car trains. The station is constrained by sharp curves at both ends, and cannot therefore be further extended on its current site. The DLR's plans to operate 3 car trains on this line therefore include the relocation of this station some distance to the east.
In 1996, near the station, the Docklands bombing killed 2 people and injured over 30.
