This is the coaling pier at Greenwich Power Station. Colliers used to dock alongside and offload coal to fire the electricity generators.
http://www.web-options.com/Top12/content/L1030230_large.html The power station is a back-up for the London Underground. It's still operational, but is now gas-fired. The pillars of the pier are Doric in style. The beach beneath the pier was the setting for a murder mystery written by local resident and former Poet Laureate C. Day-Lewis, writing as Nicholas Blake.
