Hello

I am going to London shortly and want to see the Thames Barrier. Is there
Tube stop nearby? None of the tourist guide books even list this as a
tourist place but I'm very curious. Any advice is welcome.

(Also, I will get a 7 day 2 zone travelcard as I usually do. Are these still
paper or have they gone Oyster too?)


The official Thames Barrier visitor station is on the south side of the
river. Nearest Tube is North Greenwich, but it is quite a long walk from
there. You can usually get a taxi from the rank there. Nearest rail
station is Charlton, again quite a walk.
