North Greenwich Pier : ウィキペディア英語版 | North Greenwich Pier
North Greenwich Pier is a pier on the River Thames, London, UK. It is situated on the Greenwich peninsula in south-east London, to the east of the Millennium Dome (now the O2). The pier was formerly named QEII Pier after Queen Elizabeth II, reigning monarch of the United Kingdom. ==History== Greenwich Pier was originally built in the 1880s as a coaling jetty for the former Greenwich gasworks before this closed in the late 1980s. Most of the original jetty was demolished in 1997 to make way for the new passenger pier; however eight of the original cast iron caisson columns were retained to secure the new floating pier. Antony Gormley's 'Quantum Cloud' statue stands on the downstream group of four caissons.
