Safeguarded wharf

Safeguarded wharves are those wharves in London which have been given special status by the Mayor of London and the Port of London Authority (PLA) which ensures they are retained as working wharves and are protected from redevelopment into non-port use.

A 2011 report found that of the 28 wharves then designated as safeguarded, a total of 25 are still usable for or could be easily renovated for the handling of cargo shipments, but three are no longer useful and should be de-registered. The report also considered some 45 proposed new safeguarded wharves and found only 25 would be able to serve cargo.[1]
