Tilbury

Tilbury


The Port of Tilbury is home to London's only deep water purpose-built cruise facility, the London Cruise Terminal. Situated at the gateway to London - just 22 nautical miles downriver from Tower Bridge - the Terminal is in an ideal location close to the heart of the City.

Tilbury has become increasingly popular as a turnaround port for Baltic and Northern European destinations but it is also perfectly placed for transit calls to visit England's capital city. The M25 is 7 miles away offering easy access for coach excursions to Central London (25 miles), historic Rochester (27 miles) and Leeds Castle (38 miles). For lovers of history and heritage, the Cruise Terminal building with its majestic baggage hall is a Grade II listed structure, opened by Ramsay MacDonald in 1930.
