===Lewisham to Catford and Beckenham Junction===
This possible extension was considered during the latest Horizon Study. The route would follow the [[Southeastern (train operating company)|Southeastern]] line and terminate between {{Stnlnk|Catford}} and {{Stnlnk|Catford Bridge}} stations. It has been seen as attractive to the district, as has the current terminus at Lewisham, built in an earlier extension.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Wilkes|first=Roger|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/propertyadvice/propertymarket/3303494/One-long-picnic-it-certainly-aint.html|title=One long picnic, it certainly ain't|date=19 June 2002|newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|access-date=24 June 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121111233631/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/propertyadvice/propertymarket/3303494/One-long-picnic-it-certainly-aint.html|archive-date=11 November 2012|location=London}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://business.highbeam.com/410604/article-1G1-116283467/dlr-takes-off|title=DLR takes off|date=6 May 2004|work=Contract Journal|access-date=24 June 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120709053121/http://business.highbeam.com/410604/article-1G1-116283467/dlr-takes-off|archive-date=9 July 2012}}</ref> A map published in 2010 by Transport for London suggests that a further extension from Catford to {{stnlnk|Forest Hill}} has also been considered.<ref name="potential-dlr-map" />

However, early plans showed problems due to {{stl|DLR|Lewisham}} station being only marginally lower than the busy A20 road, which impedes any extension. The plan is however being revised.<ref name="atoproj129">{{cite web|url=http://www.alwaystouchout.com/project/129|title=DLR to Catford|date=27 October 2007|publisher=Always Touch Out|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080513060822/http://www.alwaystouchout.com/project/129|archive-date=13 May 2008|access-date=9 July 2008}}</ref> When the Lewisham extension was first completed there were proposals to continue further to [[Beckenham]] to link it up with the [[Tramlink]] system. However, the way in which Lewisham station was built impedes this possible extension and it would prove costly to redevelop.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/tube/bakerloo-extension/user_uploads/background-summary-report.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200324162143/https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/tube/bakerloo-extension/user_uploads/background-summary-report.pdf |archive-date=2020-03-24 |url-status=live|title=Bakerloo line extension.
