Fodor's Review:

Learn what comes between London and its famous river—a futuristic-looking metal barrier that has been described as the eighth wonder of the world. Multimedia presentations, a film on the Thames's history, working models, and views of the barrier itself put the importance of the relationship between London and its river in perspective.
