The Docklands Light Railway station opened as "Crossharbour" on 31 August 1987 on the site of the formerMillwall Docks railway station, and was renamed in 1994 to "Crossharbour and London Arena". Since the neighbouringLondon Arena has been demolished (in 2006) the original name has been reinstated.[7] The name "Crossharbour" refers to the nearbyGlengall Bridge across Millwall Inner Dock.[8]
