About Custom House
The area known as Custom House is named after the custom house of the Royal Victoria Dock located on the north bank of the Thames in East London. It forms part of the London Borough of Newham.
The dock was redeveloped in the 1980s including the construction of several modern residential buildings. The Exhibition Centre London (ExCeL) dominates the area these days – originally built in 2000, Phase 2 was added in 2010 and Phase 3 is currently under construction. The centre played a key part in the 2012 London Olympics when it was divided into 5 sports halls to provide venues for several sports including table tennis, weightlifting, and wrestling.
Continuing the sporting theme, the dock also plays host to ‘Great Swim London’ on 1st July each year. All abilities are catered for with distances ranging from a half mile to 10k.
Custom House station was originally built as part of the Dockland Light Railway but now also provides access to the Elizabeth Line with a journey time to Central London (Bond Street) of approx. 18 mins.
