not a barrier
Iron tree
Ferry way
Frog eggs?
Thames barrier
The mighty barrier from behind
Cutty Sark pub in Greenwich
We left Falconwood Station, walked through Eltham park and Oxleas wood to Woolwich common, then finally arrived at the line of iron robots that protect London from flooding, the Thames Barrier. After a bit of an educational tour (including watching a short tacky programme done in the 80s style), we trekked through what I would call an urban wasteland of factories, cement, hills of stones and dust, with an assortment of smells reeking in the air; this is not the usual country rambling you'd expect. I enjoyed it--even though I am unhappy I still want to see what's going on out there in this strange world.
