These are Maunsell Forts that were built in the Thames estuaries during World War II. Each tower contained a Bofors 40 millimeter gun anti-aircraft gun crew. They were connected by walkways like the one you can see above. Why hasn't anyone filmed a post-appocalypse movie here yet? I don't know, but it's an amazing place. There were six locations in total, and they had cool names like Shivering Sands. They were decommissioned in in the 1950s, and in the 1960s several of the forts were used as pirate radio stations delivering the delicious sin of rock and roll to the hungry sinners of the UK. Below is the Knock John sea fort.
