Is it just me, or does this entrance feel like a gateway to another world? We’re standing before the Greenwich Foot Tunnel North. This incredible feat of engineering, completed in 1902, stretches beneath the Thames, connecting Greenwich to the Isle of Dogs. Before the tunnel, workers relied on a ferry service to reach their jobs in the London docks. Can you imagine relying on a ferry every day, especially in those foggy conditions? The Greenwich Foot Tunnel was a godsend, providing a safe and reliable passage. Sir Alexander Binnie, the mastermind behind the tunnel’s design, also lent his expertise to projects like the Blackwall Tunnel and Vauxhall Bridge. This tunnel is steeped in history. During World War II, the north end suffered bomb damage and had to undergo significant repairs. If you look closely, you can still see where the modern reinforcements blend with the original structure. Now, thousands of people use this tunnel every day. It’s a testament to the ingenuity of its time and a vital link in the city even today.
