Yes, but SI is not close a DLR extension right to the railway station is planned for 2010. (This is a typical example of public transport investment idiocy I get mad about: when some new rail line is built without organising traffic connections at the same time. But better late than never!)

Jérôme, it takes only 2h50' from Waterloo to Gare du Nord, and the return ticket costs only £59. When are we meeting?

Actually, some trains (those with less stops) are now scheduled at 2h35m! But Jérôme IIRC once explained that his firm pays him the airplane ticket, and going to City Airport is still faster than the Eurostar even with the new CTRL-1-allowed times. (I saw that comment of his maybe a week late, so only answered it indirectly, now for the second time :-) )
