A part of London’s ever growing Thames transport system, the Festival Pier is adjacent to the Royal Festival Hall and National Film Theatre. The pier is a pick up point for Thames cruises as well as commuter boats. Next to the pier is a small area of ‘beach’ where in the summer people can often be found gathered and parties and events take place. The Festival Pier is an ideal starting point for all attractions on the South Bank as well as for Waterloo.
