It is one of the largest moving flood barriers in the world. The Thames Barrier Park lies on the North side of the river and the exhibition with a working sized model and video demonstration is on the South side. The barrier has been closed 174 times as of July 2014 and it cost 16,000GBP to close the barrier each time. The barrier itself is visually interesting and visited by several tourists.
