Thames Barrier Park, Public garden in Royal Docks, London, England.

The Thames Barrier Park spans 7 hectares along the River Thames, featuring a sunken garden, water fountains, and extensive green spaces.

The location transformed from a petrochemical factory site in the 1990s, requiring extensive soil decontamination before becoming London's largest riverside park in 50 years.

The park's design combines French and British architectural influences, incorporating elements that honor the industrial heritage of London's Royal Docks.

Visitors can access the park daily from 7:00 AM through Pontoon Dock DLR station and find amenities including a coffee shop and basketball court.

The Green Dock, a 130-foot diagonal garden corridor, creates a protected environment for plants through its sunken design.
