Port of London Authority

We are the UK’s biggest port, central to the country’s economy and ambitions for growth. We connect the UK to the world, but we are much more than a conventional port.

We are driven by our purpose to protect and improve the 95-mile stretch of the River Thames which is tidal – from Teddington Lock on the border of Surrey, through the heart of London, Kent, Essex and out to the North Sea.

As a trust port, we reinvest all the money we make back into the tidal Thames region, caring for the river and supporting the communities who live and work along it.

Working together, we are committed to doing the right thing, championing our customers and their growth, promoting sustainability and the voice and interests of people who live and work on the river and always putting safety first.
