Lifeboat Pier

new lifeboat station on the River Thames

Lifeboat Pier, one of the RNLI's principal lifeboat stations on the River Thames, was opened officially on Monday, 8 May 2006. Sir Kevin Tebbit, then Chair of The Lifeboat Fund, performed the ceremony.  

The Lifeboat Fund provided £400,000 towards the cost of the refurbishment of Lifeboat Pier. This lifeboat station replaced the old one at Tower Pier. Lifeboat Pier provides much needed quiet and spacious accommodation for the lifeboat crew on one of the busiest stretches of water in the country. Public Servant, the E-class lifeboat provided by The Fund in 2002 for saving lives on the River Thames, is stationed at Lifeboat Pier.
