The Thames Barrier is a unique structure, built to protect London against tidal surges. At a width of 520m and as high as a five-storey building, the barrier is a triumph of modern engineering.

The Information Centre describes the construction and operation of the barrier, with video, displays, models and computer software to navigate on.
