This 1978 view of Westminster Pier looks along a busy stretch of the Thames lined with blue-painted pier buildings, moored passenger craft and crowds waiting by the riverside. A sightseeing boat is coming in on the river, while beyond the pier the red girders of Hungerford Bridge cut across the background and the north bank skyline is filled with office blocks, church spires and older riverside buildings. The scene captures the working, practical character of central London’s river traffic before the later Millennium-era rebuilding of the pier network, with Westminster still serving as both a commuter landing stage and a tourist departure point. The mix of boats, queues, canopies, flags and embankment railings gives the photograph a lively summer feel and makes it a strong record of the Thames as an everyday transport corridor as well as a visitor attraction.
