These gates help regulate the flow of water in the Thames, a tidal river that extends to Teddington Lock in south-west London. The barrier prevents high tides from flooding large areas of London, as well as during times of high flow at Teddington Weir."},{"type":"text","content":"While you can't visit the Thames Barrier, there are several ways to see the structure:\n\nVisit the Thames Barrier Information Center, which also features riverwalks, a children's play area and the Thames Barrier Café.\nSee the Thames Barrier from the river on a boat tour or speedboat ride, which includes trips operated by ThamesJet, Thames Rib Experience, Thames River Services and Thames Rockets.\nTake a regular group tour of the Thames Barrier.\nSee the unique structure from Thames Barrier Park, a 7-hectare (17-acre) park featuring a sunken garden, fountains, children's playground and picnic areas."},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnPHex8Li2JvlXMdTMHI8%2FSnaptik_7031531027201821957_placestogotoinlondon.mp4?alt=media&token=577cb1db-a93f-4150-878f-67e40c174147"}]},{"address":"Emirates air line","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":51.49973606996406,"longitude":0.007997399999997157},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Emirates air line"},{"metadata":{"width":750,"height":436},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnPHex8Li2JvlXMdTMHI8%2Fview-at-night-of-the.jpg?alt=media&token=233bb855-c325-48b9-8dd9-dde089631ce1"},{"type":"text","content":"One of the most unusual ways of traveling in London is by air.
