The Royal Victoria Pier was opened on 8th July 1833 by the Duchess of Kent and her daughter, Princess (soon to be Queen) Victoria.

A pontoon was added in 1864 and seven years later railway lines were extended to a widened pier-head. Paddle Steamers departed from the pier for the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands.

In 1917, a train ferry service was set up from a temporary brick-built pier, operating to Dieppe three times a week; it carried supplies over to France During World War 2.

The Royal Pier was destroyed by fire in 1987, but the white Toll House, built as the entrance to the pier, still stands.

Re-opened in august 2008, its now home to Kuti’s Royal Thai Pier on the Ground Floor and the Gatehouse Grill on the First Floor. A stunning venue for dining, events, parties and a licensed venue for wedding and civil ceremonies.
