Beneath The Thames

The Greenwich foot tunnel is a pedestrian tunnel crossing beneath the River Thames in South East London, linking the London Borough of Greenwich in the south with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to the north. It was designed by civil engineer Sir Alexander Binnie for London County Council, and was constructed by contractor John Cochrane & Co; the project started in June 1899 and the tunnel was opened on 4 August 1902.

Dan Biggins replied

Thanks Linda – it was a bit echoey and eerie down there, and was only 11am this morning…I wouldn’t go down there at night, I’ll tell you that for nothing! Cheers.

Wonderful – good to know I am not the only person who goes down here these days! It is beginning to look a bit shabby and worse for wear (or neglect) now the DLR is open…. and what are those puddles half way down???
Dan Biggins replied

I’d only seen pictures of the tunnel on the web, so decided to have a look for myself…yep, it’s pretty grotty down there but fascinating too…

It seems too lonely and a bit scary through this tunnel but it is a fascinating piece of architecture.
Your picture is stunning.
Dan Biggins replied

Thanks Emazevedo – it was very quiet down there that day, but made it all the more interesting…thanks for your kind words.

Great shot, London has some fascinating, beautiful and indeed grotty places to find and explore and lucky you to have them at your finger tips. Love the perspective here :-))
Dan Biggins replied

Hi Global – you’re right, I get a kick from shooting the well-known landmarks, but it’s great to discover something a little less known such as this. Thanks for commenting.
