Absolutely beautiful and quiet place with a beautiful view to the river Thames. Perfect place for a walk or just chill. Enough cafés around to grab something to eat, also Sainsbury's where you can grab a meal deal and eat in the park if the weather is good.

It's only a small park. There is a children's playground and a cafe which has toilets. The park offers good views of the Thames Barrier.

Thames Barrier Park is such a lovely place to relax and unwind. We visited with the kids and had a really nice time. The park is clean, peaceful, and well maintained, with lots of open space for walking and playing. The kids enjoyed running around while we got to sit back and chill for a bit. It’s a great spot for a family outing, especially if you just want somewhere calm away from the busy city. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back again.

A amazing park with plenty of history and well worth a visit. Even if it's just for a walk or to be with nature. It is a good place to go for just some inner peace. It also has a lovely cafe that you can visit that is not to expensive or a water park near by. My favourite part was probably the landscape, but it was also nice to see Thames River.
