When did the last trams run in London and when where they reinstated?

Question

I think they last ran in the 50's and then the Croydon Tramlink opened early 2000's?

Answer 1

"There have been two separate generations of trams in London, one running from 1861 to 1952 and the second starting in 2000. Between 1952 and 2000 no trams ran in London.

The second generation of trams started with the opening of Croydon Tramlink in 2000. This operates modern low-floor articulated tramcars, based on a design for Cologne (Köln) in Germany, on three routes in South London."
