Battersea Power Station Pier is a new, purpose-built pier, constructed to serve the Thames Clipper river bus service. It stands immediately upriver from the original Battersea Power Station pier where coal was delivered to the power station when it was in use. It is on the south bank of the River Thames at a point which is undergoing massive transformation and regeneration from industrial use to mixed residential and retail use.
The pier opened in November 2017. It has step-free access to the river bus service and is 15 minutes by boat from Embankment Pier or 40 minutes to Canary Wharf. There are ticket machines and a covered waiting area, but no staffed ticket office at this pier. At the time of writing, there is an eastbound boat every 30 minutes, increasing to every 20 minutes at peak times.
The Thames Clipper service is for pedestrians and cyclists only, no vehicles are carried. The pier is also used by river taxis and occasional excursion boats.
