泰晤士河水閘公園

Went later in the day and came by Uber clipper to Greenwich and then took DLR to Pontoon Dock . It’s much further out of the city than I imagined . We were on the North side of the river in the Thames Barrier Park Unfortunately there are no facilities available at the moment and the visitors /information centre is in the south side ( also closed ) so we couldn’t actually get on the Barrier to visit Worth a trip out there under normal circumstances. Covid restrictions make it a little more challenging and my advice would be to go in the morning DLR from Pontoon Dock back to Bank is only 19mins

So lucky to have this wonderful Common on our doorstep. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore a beautiful natural habitat and the beautiful Autumnal colours.The Windmill Cafe by the car park has outdoor seating and is great for coffee, tea and homemade cakes or something more substantial after a walk!

“在倫敦上游，泰晤士河沿岸有許多名勝之地，諸如伊頓、牛津、亨利和溫莎等。泰晤士河的入海口充滿了英國的繁忙商船，然而其上游的河道則以其靜態之美而著稱於世。在英國歷史上泰晤士河流域佔有舉足輕重的地位。”

這個2000年的項目是一個驚人的景觀建築,曾經是一個被污染的場地,在河岸上放置石化和酸性工程。波浪狀的植物,其顏色隨季節變化,反映了泰晤士河和洪水屏障的動態性質。紀念館紀念在第二次世界大戰中喪生的當地人。

英國工程最好!可能是世界上最好的潮屏障。

控制河流高度和防止洪水,雖然在全球變暖之前設計,所以它可能更經常使用。絕對偏離了被打敗的道路,但看看河流是如何控制的,這很酷。
