Queenhithe dock is a medieval waterfront installation located on the north bank of the Thames in London. The dock originated in the Anglo-Saxon period as a significant trading quay and continued as an important commercial harbour through the medieval period and beyond. Its name derives from Queen Matilda, consort of Henry I, who granted privileges to the site in the early twelfth century. The dock represents a substantial example of medieval riverine commerce infrastructure, serving as evidence of London's development as a major port during the medieval period.
