Details please: disembarking at Greenwich Ship Tier (London)

We will be disembarking at the "floating cruise terminal" on the Thames at Greenwich. As far as I can tell by looking at website such as the Port of London Authority, we step onto a floating platform and then take a short tender ride to Greenwich Pier on the south bank of the Thames, next to the Cutty Sark.

It's at this point that I have been unable to find further information. Greenwich Pier is in a pedestrianised area, and we need to tell a driver where to collect us.

Has anybody done this? Thanks.

From memory, I think that the Gipsy Moth (a pub) is about the closest that you can easily get to the pier in a car.

Are you getting the car from an established London company? If so, they'll probably have a better idea of what works in practice.

Here is a nice video to give you an idea. http://www.shippingtv.co.uk/?p=3220

The tender works from Greenwich Pier, right beside the Cutty Sark (and the Gipsy Moth Pub). There doesn't seem to be any designated pick up/drop off area.

Thanks, Bob++ (actually, that video is how I knew it was a floating pier!).

Unless the cruise lines or the Port Authority have an arrangement with the Naval College for pickups, perhaps transfers will be a chaotic scrum?

Hopefully, you or someone who has done it will let us know. I am sure you won't be the last to ask the question.

This is a little late for this thread but I also had difficulty finding out information when we were arriving in June 2018 on the Silver Spirit, so thought this may be of some help for other researchers. The Tier (dock) is in the middle of the River Thames, the shipping companies organise a ferry to take passengers to Greenwich Tier (only a few minutes away) when they disembark. Our cruise ship had organised for the luggage to be picked up in a marquee in the gardens of the Tourist Information Centre. There were plenty of porters to help you with your luggage and in our case to the taxi rank just a couple of minutes away. I noticed there were cars waiting for passengers near Pepys Gate if that is any help for those trying to organise a pick up.
