History |
Cadogan Pier is a pier on the River Thames in London, UK. It is located on the North Bank of the river, immediately next to the Albert Bridge on Cheyne Walk near Chelsea Embankment.
It was erected by Earl Cadogan by 1841 and designed by Nathaniel Handford. It was rebuilt around 1875 following the completion of Albert Bridge. The London County Council obtained the pier from the Thames Conservancy Board and repaired it in 1905. In 1996 it was bought by Cadogan Pier (Chelsea) Limited from the Port of London Authority.[1]
The pier was extended in 2004 to designs by Beckett Rankine and has residential moorings.[2][3] In 2010 a boat moored there was put up for sale for £1 million.[4]
The pier is served by Thames Clippers RB6 commuter service to Putney.[5]
