The Thames Barrier in Woolwich, London.
The Thames Barrier is a flood control structure on the River Thames, constructed between 1974 and 1984 at Woolwich Reach, and first used defensively in 1983.
It has been used over 100 times defensively, the last of which was on March 19th, 2008.
It is the world's second largest movable flood barrier (the largest is the Maeslantkering in The Netherlands).
A reworking of an earlier shot. I actually managed to upload the not quite finished one but I'll be selling the final copy soon and I'll stick details up here.

This is extremely good, but perhaps slightly
marred by the blue 'stain' in the top right.
