Thames Barrier Park and Garden

Newham | Ref 12267

The Thames Barrier Park was opened in November 2000, providing a focal point for Newham residents and an attraction for visitors to the area. The riverside area has been redeveloped and landscaped with fountains, family areas, flower gardens and tended lawns.

The Park is situated in Silvertown on the north bank of the Thames and has stunning views of the flood barrier. Set within 22 acres of greenery, this unique urban oasis features fountains, gardens, wildflower meadows, a children's play area and a 5-a-side football/basketball court.

One of the park's most imaginative and attractive features is The Green Dock which was created by renowned horticulturalist Alain Cousseran and Alain Provost. A 1km circuit of the boundary paths takes you to the Visitor Pavilion Coffee Shop where refreshments are available.
