The latest map of the system as of January 08, separates Canary Wharf DLR and Canary Wharf Jubilee Line stations as they are a fair walk apart...which is what Gaby & I discovered accidentally when switching lines up to Green Park. Directions are unclear, leading you through sub levels of shopping malls, with very little clear signage; all very disconcerting as the directions seem to be pointing you into an office block. Eventually you pop out onto a wide Plaza, looking more like Berlin than London and I finally recognised where I was enough to find the curved mouth of the Jubilee Line station.
As it's a distinct 'new' station on the map, and the sheer fash we went through in finding it, convinced we were lost and going to be horrifically tea for our tea appointment, I'm bloody well counting the DLR Canary Wharf as a bonus station. We certainly passed through sets of ticket barriers.
It also gives me an excuse to put up a bunch of the pictures of architecture of the area that we took.
So, from DLR station...

To the Jubilee Line

...and onwards to finish up in the rather different decor of Browns Hotel, of warm wood panelling, comfy sofas, soft lighting and a proper tea
