The London Borough of Bexley advocates for the extension of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) to Belvedere alongside Transport for London's existing plans to extend the DLR from Beckton Riverside to Thamesmead, with the Council formally advocating the Belvedere extension as part of its response to the TFL consultation on the issue. [4] As of December 2025, there is no update on any plans to extent to Belvedere, although the government has confirmed support of TFL's plans regarding the Thamesmead extension. [5]
