Next month two Thames Piers will be given new names.
Doubletree Docklands Nelson Dock Pier is being renamed Rotherhithe Pier.
This was once just Nelson Dock Pier with Doubletree added recently when the 1980s hotel building was rebranded DoubleTree Hotel.
Shortly Rotherhithe Pier will be served by Orbit Clipper, the UK’s first fully electric, zero-emission cross-river passenger ferry on the Rotherhithe-Canary Wharf crossing. The vessel has been built by White Shipyard at East Cowes on the Isle of Wight.
Upstream Plantation Wharf Pier will become St Mary’s Wandsworth Pier. The existing name recalls sugar cane being landed here from barges sent up from the docks. One of the blocks of offices turned flats is called Molasses House.
The new name will be less confusing although riverside St Mary’s church is 0.75 miles (1.17 km) from the pier.
The changes come into force from Monday 7 April.
Both piers are served by Thames Clippers Uber Boat.
