A great view of the sunset from the Thames Barrier across towards the O2 arena and the financial district of Canary Wharf.

Photography Tips

Use "The Photographers Ephemeris" for the sunset time and position, the best position for the sunset is in the early spring when the sun sets behind the skyscrapers. The Barrier itself can be photographed as the sun begins to set, the barrier being silver gives some great reflections.

There is another spot for this image where in my opinion the perspective is better ie the towers of the barrier, the o2 arena and the financial towers are all the same size. The location is by the Woolwich Ferry. Summer time is the best for the sunset direction.
