Greenwich Foot Tunnel

Walk beneath the Thames through the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, a Victorian passage built for dockworkers in 1902. Descend by lift or spiral staircase, cross the full 370-metre stretch, and emerge to a classic view of the Cutty Sark and Greenwich skyline.

✨

Reasons to go

  • Opened in 1902 so south London dockworkers could reach the Isle of Dogs shipyards without a boat crossing.
  • The tunnel runs 370 metres beneath the riverbed, connecting Greenwich to Island Gardens.
  • Each end is accessed by either a lift or a spiral staircase.
