Bargehouse Causeway
Bargehouse Causeway
Bargehouse Causeway is a concrete boat ramp on Woolwich Reach that slopes directly into the River Thames at the foot of Barge House Road in North Woolwich.
It is used for launching and transporting boats, and sits on a stretch of river with a long history of waterborne activity.
The site is thought to mark one of Woolwich's earliest ferry crossings, with historical records indicating a ferry operated here as far back as 1308.
Barge House Road, which leads down to the causeway, takes its name from the ferryman's house that once stood nearby, preserving the memory of that centuries-old river trade.
