The Thames Barrier
The Thames Barrier protects London from flooding.
You can see it from around Pontoon Dock station on the DLR and also the Thames Clipper passed through it between Woolwich and the O2.

The Thames Barrier is something worth visiting. The easiest way is to go to Pontoon Dock station and then walk through the attractive Thames Barrier Park. There is a very nice cafe in the park too!
For those who are sceptical about global warming and rising sea levels, just look at the statistics about the closing of the Thames Barrier.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
