Bankside Pier está ubicado en la orilla sur del río Támesis, junto al Millennium Bridge dentro del distrito londinense de Southwark. Bankside se extiende desde Blackfriars Railway Bridge hasta el borde de London Bridge City y es uno de los puntos turísticos más nuevos de Londres. Bankside y sus alrededores albergan una variedad de atracciones históricas y contemporáneas, como el mercado de Borough, la catedral de Southwark, el museo de la prisión Clink, el Golden Hinde II, el Shakespeare's Globe, la Tate Modern, la galería Bankside y el Millennium Bridge. Bankside también alberga numerosos restaurantes, pubs y bares junto al río y se encuentra a pocos pasos de London Bridge City, la City de Londres y South Bank.
Ha habido asentamientos en el área de Southwark desde que los romanos establecieron Londinium y construyeron el primer Puente de Londres. El área fue el punto de enlace más bajo del río Támesis durante la época romana y su nombre deriva de Sudweca, que significa trabajo defensivo del sur. El área se convirtió en una vía muy transitada después de la construcción de un puente de Londres medieval temprano en c990 y se estableció el mercado de Borough en 1014, que todavía se comercializa en la actualidad.
Southwark jugó un importante papel defensivo y fue quemado por Guillermo el Conquistador durante la conquista normanda en 1066. Guillermo no pudo cruzar el puente de Londres bien fortificado y viajó más de 50 millas río arriba hasta Wallingford para evitar otros cruces defendidos, incluido Reading.
Durante la era Tudor, Bankside albergaba numerosos establecimientos que no estaban permitidos en la ciudad de Londres, incluidos teatros (incluidos los teatros Rose & Globe), fosas de cebo de animales, garitos de juego y burdeles. Bankside ha sido el hogar de muchos londinenses famosos, como William Shakespeare durante el siglo XVII y luego Sir Christopher Wren durante la construcción de la catedral de St. Paul en el siglo XVIII.
Bankside Pier está a 7 minutos a pie * de la estación de Blackfriars, que es servida por National Rail Services y las líneas de metro Circle & District London. El muelle también está a 11 minutos a pie * de la estación London Bridge, a la que llegan los servicios ferroviarios nacionales, las líneas de metro Jubilee & Northern London y varios autobuses.
