Woolwich Riverside
Long exposure of the Thames Barrier London at Sunset #bvstrove
It was a chilly walk tonight in London, but well worth it.

I had never been to the Thames Barrier and was inspired to go there by a couple of photos I saw on Trover.

I will post a couple of the barrier itself at some point.  This one was taken from the Thames River path just west of the barrier looking towards the Greenwich Peninsula and Canary Wharf.

You will recognise the Canary Wharf towers in the background.  Also the O2 arena on the right.  The red "lines" on the far right and going down in the middle of the frame are actually the moving cable cars (long exposure) from the Emirates Air Line.

Nice spot!
Detail of the landing in Woolwich Town Hall, the main seat of Greenwich Council, Woolwich, South East London.
These structures protect London from a water surge which could flood the city.  They also look really cool at night.
