Discover Thames Barrier Park, one of London's first new green spaces in decades. Wander the sunken Green Dock garden with its undulating hedges, then take in clear views of the Flood Barrier's silver piers across the river.
Reasons to go
Full description
Thames Barrier Park was one of London's first major new parks in decades when it opened, designed around a striking sunken garden that recalls the dock that once occupied the site, its clipped hedges running in undulating lines down to the river. The location gives unobstructed views of the Thames Flood Barrier's distinctive silver piers, a modern landmark in its own right.
It's smaller and quieter than London's historic parks, appealing to locals and those interested in contemporary landscape design rather than a grand day out.

Absolutely beautiful and quiet place with a beautiful view to the river Thames. Perfect place for a walk or just chill. Enough cafés around to grab something to eat, also Sainsbury's where you can grab a meal deal and eat in the park if the weather is good.
