The Thames Barrier is a retractable barrier system that is designed to prevent the floodplain of most of Greater London from being flooded from being flooded by exceptionally high tides and storm surges moving up from the North Sea. It has been operational since 1982. When needed, it is closed raised during high tide; at low tide, it can be opened to restore the river`s flow towards the sea. Built approximately 3 km 1.9 mi east of the Isle of Dogs, its northern bank is in Silvertown in the London Borough of Newham and its southern bank is in the New Charlton area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
