The Thames Barrier is moveable flood defence and it’s actually quite impressive even if it does sound boring. When needed, it is closed (raised) during high tide; at low tide, it can be opened to restore the river’s flow towards the sea. Walk along the Thames footpath and take a look at this strange structure.

If you like engineering you will love it. It stops central London flooding. If you live East of it, well, remember your Wellies. Don't like engineering? There is a very pleasant park and coffee shop.

A short walk across Royal Dock's and you can access the beautiful Thames Barrier Park. With lots of areas to relax and even have a picnic whilst watching the traffic moving in and out of the Thames. You may even be lucky to catch a cruise ship or a seal !
