Many parts of London will be under water by 2060 , if nothing is done to protect them .

London on the Thames , yes ; but London in the Sea ? No thank you ! Yet this happen before 2060 , steps are taken quite quickly , to prevent it .
As a result of , the sea around the south east corner of England is expected to by 54 cms in just half a century ! And scientists now say that many parts of London will be at serious risk from by the sea within 50 years .
It's not all of London that is in ; just some parts to the east of the city . And they won't be under water all the time ; just when there are very tides .
The low - lying suburbs beside the Thames in the East End of London are already protected from high tides by a massive barrier that stretches right across the river ; but more defences will needed along the banks of the Thames to protect a larger area to the north of the river , and further east . And no - one really knows the existing Thames Barrier will still be enough to protect London , even in 2050 .
The Thames barrier was opened in 1982 . During the first ten years of its life , it was closed , on , just once a year . Some years it was closed at all .
Other towns and low lying areas in the east of England are facing similar problems ; and it will take a lot of time , and cost a lot of money , to protect them .
London floods
Of course , there have always occasional very high tides . A thousand years ago , there were big floods around London ; and in 1953 , before the Thames Barrier was , over 300 people lost their lives in " the big flood " ; but today the dangers are bigger . There are more people , more roads , more infrastructure . In the past , people did not build in places there was a risk of flooding . Today , in southeast England , land is so expensive , that people build ? even in places that are liable to be flooded .
Scientists also say that global warming will lead to warmer and summers in the south east of England . This will cause changes in vegetation , and several species of native will not be able to . Wet in winter , hot in summer : will that be London in fifty years' time ?
London big problems in the next fifty years ; but London is a rich city , which can pay to build the protections that will be needed . London's difficulties will be very small , to the problems that will be faced in some of the world's poorer counties , Bangla Desh .
