The Port of London Authority

The Port of London Authority (PLA) is a self-financing statutory authority. Our responsibilities include ensuring navigational safety along the Tidal Thames, promoting use of the River and safeguarding the environment. We work in partnership with commercial, recreational, community and amenity groups and organisations to ensure the Thames continues to be a safe and enjoyable environment for trade, recreation and tourism.
