Cadogan Pier

It has been Chelsea's only river transport link for over 150 years. History Cadogan Pier was built in 1841 to bring potential buyers to Lord Cadogan's new estate of houses in Chelsea. It was a landmark structure and was the prime river gateway for visitors to Chelsea. The Pier was rebuilt in 1875 to accommodate Albert Bridge, London, that has been recognized as one of London's most beautiful bridges.

The Pier is and will most likely forever be a London landmark and one of its kind in Chelsea. Design 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 Limited from the Port of
