DLR Docklands Light Railway Moquette Cushion

The younger among us headed straight for the front seats, hands on an imaginary controller—until a member of staff needed the seat for the tunnel under the river. Getting to “drive” the DLR was always part of the excitement.

Made from the familiar blue DLR seat moquette, this cushion brings a piece of the London you made your own into your home. Those flowing waves, turquoise strokes and little flashes of red can bring back much more than a train ride.

Making a life beyond the Tube

Perhaps you watched the skyscrapers going up on your way to a new job. Cranes became buildings, building sites became neighbourhoods, and somewhere among them was the possibility of a home of your own.

For some, moving east meant a first rented flat with friends. For others, it was finally finding somewhere they could buy. As the Olympic regeneration gathered pace, the area was changing—and people’s plans were taking shape alongside it.

Then came the summer of 2012: the anticipation on the platforms, the volunteers pointing the way and the feeling of having the world on your doorstep.

Your memories might belong to that extraordinary summer, an evening cheering with friends at the Copper Box, or the familiar relief of heading home after work. The DLR connected the places where life happened.

The river in the pattern

Rich blue gives this moquette its character. Scattered strokes of turquoise, pale grey and dark blue, with small red accents, form wave-like shapes that echo the Thames and dock basins.

The flowing pattern brings colour to a plain sofa or favourite armchair. Its dense woven pile adds texture, while the hard-wearing construction developed for transport seating suits a cushion used every day.

It makes a personal housewarming gift, a reminder of home for someone leaving London, or a present for the friend who still insists on sitting at the front.

Beyond the Tube. A piece of the London you made your own.
