Royal Arsenal Pier - Licensing information

It is necessary for all vessel owners wishing to visit the Royal Arsenal Pier to have arranged a licence in advance. Failure to display a valid licence will incur a fine.

Contact Highways - building licences to apply for a licence.

Notes for pier licence applicants and holders

While every effort will be made to issue a licence the Royal Borough cannot be held responsible for any delays.

• If an applicant does not have a licence they must not use the pier.
• The pontoon at the downstream end of the pier is not available for normal use.
• Licences are subject to availability to account for existing licensed users.
• A licence does not guarantee a mooring or landing space.

Thames Clippers run a regular river bus service from Royal Arsenal Pier in the morning and evening. Pier users must not obstruct the access to the Thames Clippers embarkation/disembarkation during service times.
