Limehouse is a National Rail station, also connected to the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) network.

Limehouse station provides regional services connecting to and from Fenchurch Street, as well as light metro services offered by the DLR, linking to Tower Gateway or Bank. Limehouse station is situated approximately 2.8 km away from Fenchurch Street on the main line, with the next station being West Ham. On the DLR, it is positioned between Shadwell and Westferry.

The station was originally opened by the Commercial Railway, later known as the London and Blackwall Railway, in 1840 under the name Stepney. During that time, the Commercial Railway operated another station called Limehouse, located one stop to the east of Stepney. In 1923, Stepney was renamed Stepney East, and in 1926, the other Limehouse station was closed down.

In 1987, Stepney East changed its name to Limehouse shortly before the introduction of the DLR.
