All Saints is a station on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in Poplar in east London, England. It is named after the nearby All Saints, Poplar, a church dating from 1821-3. The station entrance is on the East India Dock Road, opposite Chrisp Street Market.

On-train announcements for trains approaching the station describe it as "All Saints for Chrisp Street Market".

History

There was a previous station on the same site, called Poplar station, which was served by the North London Railway. The location of this station can be seen in the bottom-right hand corner of the Map of Poplar, 1885.

Serco announced that from 24 August 2009, the frequency on the Stratford to Lewisham branch would be reduced at peak times to one train every seven minutes, from the current five-minute frequency. This is to accommodate a flyover that will increase frequencies by 30 seconds on the Bank to Lewisham line.[4]
