The Thames Barrier is literally the lifeline of London and when initially constructed it was estimated that it would work at full power and offer full protection for around 100 years. However, projections for sea level rises around the world have increased over the last few years with global warming taking effect and it is now estimated that the level of protection afforded to London will start to diminish after 2060.
