Went for a walk the other day and shoved my phone under everything I deemed remotely suitable. Most things not in focus or they made no sense. Chose the barrier in the end which stops pedestrians walk on a train track without looking.
The first time i saw that flood barrier was in 2005 during my first London visit. We had a drink in the "anchor and hope" in the evening and i was impressed by the futuristic looking installation i saw from there. I had no camera then but i told me that one day i might come back to photograph that barrier. This year during my London visit it was definitely on my photo list.
I drove out with public transport (DLR from Cannon Street to Charlton, 621 Bus to greenwich Unitech College) on a hot summer afternoon. Apart of the sweating the conditions were perfect, fluffy clouds and a blue sky in the afternoon light.
I took advantage of my Hoya Polarizer and a Lee Big Stopper and took several shots from different angles. This one is my favourite.

"Over all the mountain tops is peace. In all treetops you perceive scarcely a breath. The little birds in the forest are silent. Wait then; soon, you too, will have peace."

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
Jalal ad-Din Rumi (Persian Poet and Mystic, 1207-1273)
The Thames Barrier spans 520 metres across the River Thames near Woolwich, and it protects 125 square kilometres of central London from flooding caused by tidal surges. It has 10 steel gates that can be raised into position across the River Thames. When raised, the main gates stand as high as a 5-storey building and as wide as the opening of Tower Bridge. Each main gate weighs 3,300 tonnes.
The barrier is closed under storm surge conditions to protect London from flooding from the sea. It may also be closed during periods of high flow over Teddington Weir to reduce the risk of river flooding in some areas of west London including Richmond and Twickenham.
The Thames Barrier will then remain closed over high water until the water level downstream of the Thames Barrier has reduced to the same level as upstream. This is a managed process to provide for different circumstances, and takes about 5 hours. The Thames Barrier is then opened, allowing the water upstream to flow out to sea with the outward-bound tide.
The Thames Barrier is a retractable barrier system built to protect the floodplain of most of Greater London from exceptionally high tides and storm surges moving up from the North Sea. It has been operational since 1982. When needed, it is closed (raised) during high tide; at low tide, it can be opened to restore the river's flow towards the sea. Built about 2 miles (3.2 kilometres) east of the Isle of Dogs, its northern bank is in Silvertown in the London Borough of Newham and its southern bank is in the New Charlton area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
This view is looking towards the city from the East side of the barrier.
