Original DLR P86 Moquette Cushion

Before those towers became familiar, you watched them going up. From the front seat, with your hands on an imaginary controller, it felt as though you were driving straight into London’s future.

This Original DLR moquette cushion brings a little of that feeling home. Red and turquoise waves, with small yellow accents against deep blue, as used on the original P86 stock—a familiar reminder of watching Docklands take shape while your own life was taking shape too.

Perhaps you were heading to a new job in a building you had watched being built. Outside the window were cranes, open stretches of dock and another piece of the skyline appearing. You started recognising the same faces each morning. Somewhere that had seemed unfamiliar was becoming your patch.

For some, it was a first rented flat with friends. For others, the possibility of buying a home of their own. You watched the buildings rise and wondered who would live there—then, perhaps, one of those windows became yours.

And there was still the small pleasure of getting the front seat. Even when you were old enough to pretend you weren’t bothered.

The pattern might have barely registered at the time. Seeing it again can bring back the people, the anticipation and the feeling that life was opening up.

Docklands was taking shape. So were your plans.

On your sofa or favourite chair, its deep blue ground and colourful waves bring a familiar part of London into everyday life. A thoughtful housewarming gift, a reminder of an early Docklands job or something for the person who still quietly makes for the front seat.
