Tidal Thames Habitat Bank - Bexley
Added on 24/03/2026
Overview
Description
The Port of London Authority is offering access to the UK’s first intertidal habitat bank, built on four pillars: The Port of London Authority is a historic agency, established in 1909 as the landowner of the riverbed and foreshore of the tidal River Thames. Unlike other habitat banks who lease land, we own the 95-mile stretch of the Thames from Teddington on the border of Surrey, through London, Kent and Essex and out to the North Sea. We are trusted, credible and here for the long-term: given our authority is granted by Parliament, we will be here for as long as there is a tidal River Thames. We are the UK’s biggest port and have long-standing and successful partnerships with our customers ranging from multi-national global businesses; to small, local providers. We understand and enable their commercial objectives and work to help them achieve their aims. Given our status as a trust port, we are a commercial business but run as a not for dividend. We are experienced in understanding, navigating and helping our customers in a complex regulatory risk landscape. We are recognised leaders in intertidal conservation and habitat creation. We are a trusted authority with established and respected environmental credibility and long-term ambitions for improving the tidal Thames. We bring together credibility, longevity, experience in supporting business customers, and leadership in conservation.
