Greenwich Foot Tunnel – London Highlights

Greenwich foot tunnel is a pedestrian tunnel connecting the north and south sides of the River Thames. I was thrilled to be able to cajole our little band to walk to and through the tunnel over to Greenwich.

The tunnel’s entrance does not look appealing or particularly notable from the north side, but the views over to Greenwich call out for a photo or two. On the south side at Greenwich, the tunnel exits onto the Cutty Sark ship and close to Greenwich’s main street and market.

The tunnel has a long history starting in 1899 with various works repairing and renovating different sections as time has demanded.
