The only remaining one of several small docks inlet into the bank
of the Thames around here This was the site of
Nine Elms Tide Mill Dock from around 1760 to the late 1960, but was replaced
in 1879 by a dock for the London
Gas Works whose site then stretched from here south to the railway line.
called Tideway Village. It was an old local gasworks dock and derelict
until 2001. It houses 3 boats.
The developers of theluxury flats tried to evict Tideway Village but
they and the residents of the adjoining
Nine Elms Pier - a 360ft concrete jetty built by the North Thames
Gas Board from 1948-52 - won the legal battle to stay.
The pier was built to take 2,600 ton diesel colliers supplying coal
for Nine Elms Gas Works and closed in 1970.
Houseboats began to moor here in the 1980s and it was renamed Nine
Elms Pier and bought by a residents' co-operative in 1992.
The jetty has moorings for around 20 boats and has a private garden
and swimming pool.
