   Blackfriars Pier | |
Blackfriars Pier is a pier on the River Thames, in the Blackfriars area of the City of London, United Kingdom. It is served by boats operated by Uber Boat by Thames Clippers under licence from London River Services and is situated on the north bank of the Thames, adjacent to Blackfriars Bridge.
Blackfriars Millennium Pier is a major transport interchange being close to Blackfriars rail and tube station, providing direct interchange with Thameslink and Southeastern rail services, and with the London Underground Circle and District lines. The Pier is seen predominantly as a commuter pier and thus is not typically served by River Bus services during weekend and bank holiday periods.
History
The original Blackfriars Millennium Pier was made in 2000. It was funded by the City of London Corporation and London Transport.
In order to allow for works on the Thames Tideway Tunnel, the pier was moved to a new location 250 m (820 ft) downstream and opened in October 2016. [1]
Services
The pier is served by river bus service route RB6 between Putney and Canary Wharf (extends to Royal Wharf during off peak times) and route RB1 between Battersea Power Station and Barking Riverside during peak hours only operated by Uber Boat by Thames Clippers. Thames Tigers operate daily scheduled services and private charter trips from the pier.
