View from our veranda at 5:30am as we cruised up the Thames towards Greenwich, guided by one tug at the bow and another at the stern. We passed between two similar structures with only a few feet to spare, or so it seemed!

This is the visible part of the system that is activated to prevent flooding upstream (including central London) at unusually high tides.

What are those things? Is it for flood control?
