This is the background on Blackfriars Pier Victoria Embankment, from the venue and its listings. The notes below sum up what the venue and its listings say.
Blackfriars Pier Victoria Embankment is a grassroots music venue in London.
Listing notesBlackfriars Pier sits on the north bank of the Thames at White Lion Hill on Victoria Embankment, below Blackfriars Bridge. It is a working Thames Clippers river-bus pier, and the reason it appears in gig listings is that promoters use it as the boarding point for ticketed boat parties - summer DJ cruises playing R&B, garage, Bollywood, soul and disco that leave from here in the evening and return a few hours later. The pier itself has no stage, no PA and no in-house programme - any music happens aboard the hired boat, booked through the individual promoter rather than the pier. Artists and DJs interested in these nights should approach the event organisers listed on the ticketing pages, not the pier operator.
