Come and visit the
Thames Barrier Information Centre The Thames Barrier is one of the largest moveable flood barriers in the world. It protects over 125 square kilometers of London and over 375,000 properties, historic buildings including the Houses of Parliament, offices, power supplies, tube lines and hospitals to name a few.
If your group would like to learn even more about the Thames Barrier, then we recommend booking a Group Talk. One of our Information Assistants will guide you through the centre and give a talk about the River Thames, its environment and the Thames Barrier.
Visit the Thames Barrier Information Centre to view this amazing structure, find out how it was designed, built and how it works.
Our cafĂŠ overlooks the Barrier so you can enjoy the view whilst enjoying the snacks and light lunches we have on offer.
We have parking on site for cars and coaches.
