List of locations in the Port of London
Encyclopedia
Below are listed around 680 former or extant wharves
, dock
s, pier
s, terminals, etc of the Port of London
, the majority of which lie on the Tideway
of the River Thames
, listed from upstream to downstream.
Many of the docks closed after the mass uptake of containerisation
changed the face of the industry and bringing about an end to an era, and a demise to the occupation of the docker as it then was.
Those marked with a † have at present the status of a safeguarded wharf
. Those in italics are no longer used for port or river transit related activities. Further remarks are made in brackets, including in some cases the present operator or cargo handled.
In 1937 at the height of London's trade it is estimated that there were around 1700 wharves between Brentford
and Gravesend
. Today there are around 70 active terminals, each generally handling much greater volumes. Much of the cargo and commodities handling by the Port of London takes place in the downstream stretches of the Thames beyond Greater London
, on the banks of south Essex
(Thurrock
) and north Kent
. The Port of London Authority
controls operations from its base in Gravesend
. The main container
terminal is currently at Tilbury
, though in 2008 construction began on the London Gateway
project, which will become the largest single component of the Port of London when completed.
