'''Kew Pier''' or '''Kew Gardens Pier''' is a [[pier]] on the [[River Thames]], in [[London]], [[United Kingdom]]. It stands close to [[Kew Gardens]] and [[Kew Bridge]] in the [[London Borough of Richmond upon Thames]] and is serviced by passenger boats operated by [[Westminster Passenger Services Association]] (regularly advertised as ''Thames River Boats'').<ref>[https://www.thamesriverboats.co.uk/index.asp Thames River Boats Website]</ref>

==Services==
Thames River Boats operates services between Kew Pier and [[Westminster Pier]] with longer cruises also available which continue upriver to [[Richmond, London|Richmond]] landing stage and [[Hampton Court]] landing stage.<ref>[https://www.thamesriverboats.co.uk/thames-boats/latest-sailings.asp Thames River Boats Latest Sailings]</ref>

It takes approximately 90 minutes to travel between Westminster and Kew, between two hours and two hours 20 minutes from Westminster to Richmond, and between three hours 30 minutes and four hours to travel between Westminster and Hampton Court. As with many river services, travel times are affected by the state of tide. Cruises between Kew and Richmond navigate through the half-tidal [[Richmond Lock|Richmond Lock and Weir]] and cruises between Richmond and Hampton Court navigate through [[Teddington Lock]].
