Canary Wharf Pier, pier on the River Thames near Canary Wharf
Canary Wharf Pier is a dock on the River Thames in London that serves as a transport hub for river buses and commuter boats. The pier has straightforward access with clear signage and sits surrounded by modern office towers and remnants of historic dock buildings.
The pier originated as part of the working docks where ships once loaded and unloaded cargo regularly. As the area transformed into a modern business district, the pier evolved into a key transport link while maintaining its connection to London's maritime heritage.
The pier connects London's maritime past with its modern business district, serving as a working hub where commuters and visitors alike experience the river as part of daily urban life. Walking here, you notice how people naturally blend their work routines with moments of watching the water and boats.
Reach the pier easily via the Jubilee Line to Canary Wharf Station or by bus to Westferry Circus, both within a short walk. The pier has ramps and level surfaces for wheelchairs and strollers, with clear signage throughout.
The river boat service from this pier reaches central London in about seven minutes, often faster than the underground, while offering scenic views along the way.
