泰晤士河防洪閘

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。”

Thames River flood control dam is the Thames River barrier, very impressive four central gates, five storeys high and weighing more than 3000 tons. When closed at high tide, the barrier protected more than 100 square kilometres of central London, with a good Thames Trail.

泰晤士河防洪壩規模宏大、設計新穎、構思獨特、成為上世紀英國最大的一項水利工程！
