Pontoon Dock station opened when, on 2 December 2005, the King George V branch of the DLR (since extended to Woolwich Arsenal) was open to the public.
Pontoon Dock is located in the east of Silvertown in the redevelopment zone known as Silvertown Quays.
The station is near to the small eponymous quay, Royal Wharf - a large commercial and residential development on the riverside - and the Barrier Point residential complex.
Royal Wharf covers a location previously owned by Brunner Mond, where the Silvertown explosion occurred and where there is a small memorial.
During the 2012 London Olympic games, Pontoon Dock was connected by a pathway over the road to the exit of the ExCeL centre.
