Royal Wharf Pier is a new riverboat terminal on the Thames, located beside Ballymore and Oxley’s Royal Wharf development in London’s Royal Docks.The 130m long pier and its new riverboat terminal address the practical requirements of Thames Clippers’ traffic, while also providing a memorable and generous new public space that can be enjoyed by the community, Londoners and visitors alike.
The pier extends the Royal Wharf development’s riverside public realm with a promenade, which stretches 40m into the Thames and is publicly accessible all year-round. This linear open space is reminiscent of traditional British seaside piers, framing long, impressive views towards the horizon.
