History edit
North Greenwich bus station was opened around the same time as the tube station in May 1999 as part of the Jubilee line extension. The Millennium Dome was the main attraction during that time. The bus and tube stations are located quite close to the southern portals of the Blackwall Tunnel.
The bus station is accessible via escalator from the tube station. The design, by Foster and Partners, incorporates a sweeping aerofoil shaped roof canopy. There is extensive use of glass.[1] There are five stands within the bus station.
