Pudding Mill Lane DLR station, is an enabling project for Crossrail’s Eastern Portal and forms part of the post Olympics legacy. The design is a simple, legible and elegant architectural solution that endeavours to create a new benchmark for future DLR stations. The solid base forms a clear streetscape with potential to offer up over 1000m2 of retail space. The station entrance, defined by a large portal addresses a new public square that will encourage development and form a new gateway to the area. At high level the station platforms exploit extensive views over the Lee Valley and Olympic Park.
