Default DLR in Stratford

Should make that much easier to get to.


There is also some weird church occupying one of the disused
buildings :-S
You can hear them chanting in the evenings (even from the station)


There are bizarre religious gatherings that happen all over London,
it's all part of the show! I used to live on a road where what
appeared to be a seance was held, by candlelight in the front room
visible to all passers on the street. Nowadays I'm entertained by a
lady who, on sundays (presumably en route to and from church but who
am I to presume such things) gets on my local bus and sings a few
hymns before grasping my hand and 'blessing' me with love. She's
great! Meanwhile there's a young guy who I've encountered whilst
perambulating who paces up and down under a bridge and sings Ghanaian
gospel tunes. Indeed I've seen many intriguing things that are far
odder.

All that said, incessant chanting can sound a bit weird. I shall
listen out for it if I'm in Stratford late in the evening some day.

This is veering wildly off-topic, so I'll stop now
