Waterloo Millennium Pier

The London Eye Pier is directly in front of the London Eye Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in Central London, England. It is served by various river transport and cruise operators. It should not be confused with the former Waterloo Police Pier, on the opposite side of the river on Victoria Embankment next to Waterloo Bridge, which has since been renamed the Tower Lifeboat Station and has been the base for the RNLI's Thames lifeboat service since 2006. ConstructionThe pier was designed by Beckett Rankine and built by Tilbury Douglas, principally to act as a collision protection system for the London Eye. It was one of five new piers opened in 2000 on the Thames funded by the Millennium Commission as part of the Thames 2000 project, as part of an integrated transport and regeneration strategy for the Thames led by London's Cross River Partnership.
