England: Cruising the River Thames
London was built on the Thames and this cruise gives a sense of the city that was once capital of the world's greatest empire. The journey reveals centuries of history and tradition: the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, one of the first churches built after the 17th century Great Fire, Billingsgate Fish Market, and the infamous Tower of London. Starting near Westminster we pass under ten bridges, including the Millennium Bridge and the magnificent Tower Bridge, built in 1894. At journey's end we taste our way through the Vinopolis Wine Museum and explore Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.

LONDON WALK | Victoria Embankment to Paul's Walk by the River Thames | England
A first-person perspective London walk tour from Victoria Embankment to Paul's Walk.
Experience all of the sights and sounds as Watched Walker (yes, I’m talking about myself in the third person) takes us on a walking tour through the streets of London, featuring Paul’s Walk and Victoria Embankment. The route begins across from Temple Station on Victoria Embankment, travelling along the north bank of the River Thames, leading onto Paul’s Walk and ending by the Millennium Bridge.
Sights seen along the tour include the National Submarine War Memorial, King George V Silver Jubilee monument, Blackfriars Bridge and Pier, Tate Modern, and Millennium Bridge.
And in each video I've hidden a blinking eye, can you spot it? (It could appear more than once). In addition to the blinking eye, I've also added the Watched Walker logo to various scenes–it could be on buildings, vehicles or any other objects, so keep an eye out for it too!

Thames Flood Barrier
The Thames Barrier is the world's second-largest movable flood barrier (after the Oosterscheldekering in the Netherlands) and is located downstream of central London, United Kingdom. Operational since 1982, its purpose is to prevent the floodplain of all but the easternmost boroughs of Greater London from being flooded by exceptionally high tides and storm surges moving up from the North Sea. When needed, it is closed (raised) during high tide; at low tide it can be opened to enhance the river's flow towards the sea.
Built approximately 3 km due 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. The report of Sir Hermann Bondi on the North Sea flood of 1953 affecting parts of the Thames Estuary and parts of London was instrumental in the building of the barrier.

The Thames Barrier, located in London, is currently ranked second on the list of the World's Largest Moveable Flood Barrier's.
After the flood of 1953, which claimed the lives of around three hundred people, it was obvious that something needed to be done about the rising water problem; the Thames Barrier was the solution.
The flood barrier became operational in 1982 and was built to be of use until 2070.
Run and maintained by The Environment Agency, the barrier stretches across two hundred and fifty meters of the Thames River.
The most recent closure of the barriers was in November 9th, 2007 due to a large storm surge in the North Sea.
The lights reflecting off the waters at night help make this landmark a modern marvel worth visiting day or night.
