Site: Thames Tidal Defences memorial (1 memorial)
SE7, Westmoor Street, Thames Barrier Control Centre
Following 1953’s catastrophic flooding work began on the Thames Barrier in 1974. It opened in 1984.
If you plan to visit this memorial and you are not in a vehicle, take our advice - approach it from the Riverside walk/cycleway, not Westmoor Street - which is a very, very unpleasant walk.
