Woolwich foot tunnel

The Woolwich foot tunnel is a tunnel crossing under the River Thames in east London from Woolwich in the London Borough of Greenwich to North Woolwich in the London Borough of Newham.

The tunnel was constructed for London County Council and opened in 1912. In many respects it is very similar to the nearby Greenwich foot tunnel, being accessed by lifts and stairs from buildings featuring glass domes. This tunnel too is glazed with white tiles (although many have unfortunately been defaced).

The tunnel offers pedestrians an alternative way to cross the river when the Woolwich Ferry service is not operating.
