Walbrook Wharf
Walbrook Wharf is an operating freight wharf located in the City of London adjacent to Cannon Street station. It has safeguarded wharf status.
It is used as a waste transfer station owned by the City of London Corporation and operated by Cory Environmental. Refuse from central London is transferred onto barges for transport to the riverside energy-from-waste facility in the London Borough of Bexley.
Walbrook Wharf was formerly arranged as a dock, but modern containerised loading has resulted in the infilling of the dock. The wharf is the point where the ancient stream, the Walbrook fed into the Thames, a location also known as Dowgate.
The riverside walk runs along Walbrook Wharf and is only closed to pedestrians at this point when waste is being transferred onto barges.
