Worth knowing
Monday to Saturday from Terminals 2 and 3, a train every 15 minutes. On Sundays the Elizabeth line runs about hourly on this route, so check TfL's planner.
TfL counts the nine-minute walk between Woolwich station and Woolwich Arsenal DLR station as part of the trip. At some hours its planner leaves the Elizabeth line at Canary Wharf for a short walk to Poplar and the DLR instead.
