Chelsea Harbour Pier, a pier on the River Thames, in London
Chelsea Harbour Pier is a small functional dock on the north bank of the River Thames in London, served by Uber Boat with regular trips to various parts of the city. The pier has a simple, practical design with ample space for passengers to wait and board the boats.
The pier is part of an area that was once a significant commercial port and served as an important hub for goods transport and ship traffic for many years. Today the site keeps this historical connection to the Thames alive, though commercial activity has given way and modern residential development has shaped the space.
Chelsea Harbour Pier sits in an area that transformed from a busy commercial port into a residential neighbourhood with modern apartments and homes. The pier reflects this shift and serves today mainly as a river connection for residents and visitors seeking leisure trips and everyday transport.
The pier is step-free and accessible for people with mobility aids, though mobility scooter users must register beforehand. Tickets can be purchased at machines on site or online, with contactless payment cards and mobile apps preferred.
The pier sits about 200 meters from Imperial Wharf Overground Station, enabling a remarkable combination of different transport modes. Visitors can start or end their Thames journey while switching effortlessly to train stations and other parts of London.
