The station is named after Prince Regent Lane, which runs north from the station towards the A13 road. The street in turn is named after George IV.[7]
There is a small bus station adjoining the station with buses to Plaistow and London City Airport.
The station is located on the DLR's Beckton branch, between Custom House and Royal Albert stations. It is in Travelcard Zone 3. During major exhibitions at the adjacent Excel Centre an additional DLR shuttle service operates between Canning Town and Prince Regent stations, to supplement the normal Tower Gateway to Beckton service. The trains shuttle reverse on a crossover well to the east of the station, within sight of the next station at Royal Albert.
