Custom House is an interchange station by the Royal Docks, in Custom House in the London Borough of Newham, London for Docklands Light Railway (DLR) – on which it is branded Custom House for ExCeL – and Elizabeth line services. It is situated in Travelcard Zone 3.

It takes its name from the old Custom House, which formerly stood nearby, and ExCeL London which it serves.

It is adjacent to the site of an older Custom House station built by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1855 and closed in 2006. These were replaced by new Elizabeth line platforms, which opened on 24 May 2022, along with the rest of the central section.[7] As a result of the Crossrail project, the Custom House DLR station was closed from February 2017 until 7 January 2018.
