London’s Estuary-Linked Climate Strategy: Thames Barrier, Tideway, and the Heat Loops

In a tidal capital built on marsh and chalk, London treats water and heat as a connected system. The working recipe: hold back the surge, make space for cloudbursts, clean the river, share heat and cooling, and pilot carbon capture where electrification can’t yet carry the load. It’s everyday infrastructure with civic side-effects—walkable embankments, cooler homes, cleaner water.
