River Thames – Tilbury Landing Stage, London Cruise Terminal

Tilbury Landing Stage is easily accessible with free parking. Tilbury – Gravesend ferry runs from the stage for reasonable cost

On bright days, being south facing, the sun can be a problem for photography so a few minutes on the ferry to Gravesend puts the sun behind you.
