Angerstein Wharf

Conveyors have been installed to handle cargoes of bulk aggregate

Aggregates train from the wharf - August 2007

Angerstein Wharf is the location of a marine construction aggregate and an associated cement facility, operated by the Cemex company, located on the south bank of the Bugsby's Reach of the River Thames in the New Charlton area of London in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. It has safeguarded wharf status.

The wharf was named after John Julius Angerstein (1732–1823), a local land owner, investor, businessman and art collector. It is serviced by the 'Angerstein Railway Line' (in 2003 believed to be only used for commercial freight, mainly sea-dredged aggregate landed at Angerstein Wharf) linking the wharf area, located on the border between the Greenwich Peninsula and Charlton, with the main railway network. As a result, an area of formerly largely industrial land in between the 'Angerstein Railway Line' and another North Greenwich industrial line, both to the east of the present A102 road, is sometimes referred to as the 'Angerstein Triangle'.
