{{Main|List of Docklands Light Railway stations}}
Most stations are [[Elevated railway|elevated]], with others at street level, in cutting or underground. Access to the platforms is mostly by staircase and lift, with escalators at some stations. From the outset the system has been fully accessible to wheelchairs; much attention was paid to quick and effective accessibility for all passengers.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite web |url=http://www.tfl.gov.uk/gettingaround/transportaccessibility/2986.aspx |title=DLR was the first fully accessible railway in the UK, making access much easier for everyone |publisher=Transport for London |access-date=4 March 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120530014302/http://www.tfl.gov.uk/gettingaround/transportaccessibility/2986.aspx |archive-date=30 May 2012 }}</ref> The station platforms match the floor height of the cars, giving level access for passengers with wheelchairs or pushchairs.<ref name=":102" />

Most stations are of a modular design dating back to the initial system, extended and improved with two side platforms, each with separate access from the street, and platform canopies, although few examples remain of the original, distinctive rounded roof design. Stations are unstaffed, except the underground stations at {{stl|London Underground|Bank}}, [[Stratford International railway station|Stratford International]] and [[Woolwich Arsenal station|Woolwich Arsenal]] for safety reasons, a few of the busier interchange stations, [[Canning Town Station|Canning Town]], [[West Ham Station|West Ham]], and City Airport, which has a ticket office for passengers unfamiliar with the system.  Canning Town, Custom House and Prince Regent are normally staffed on the platform whenever there is a significant exhibition at the [[ExCeL]] exhibition centre.
