LONDON'S Woolwich Foot Tunnel under river Thames

Woolwich Foot Tunnel, London. Let's travel to the city of London and let's visit the Woolwich Foot Tunnel which crosses under the River Thames in Woolwich, in East London from Old Woolwich in the Royal Borough of Greenwich to North Woolwich in the London Borough of Newham. The Woolwich foot tunnel tunnel offers pedestrians and cyclists an alternative way to cross the river when the Woolwich Free Ferry service is not operating.
The Woolwich foot tunnel on 26 October 1912. A 2016 survey showed that around 1,000 people use the Woolwich foot tunnel each day.
Woolwich Foot Tunnel was dug by hand with the aid of a tunnelling shield. It connects the north bank of the River Thames near London City Airport with Woolwich, adjacent to the ferry. It was constructed to give local people free 24 hour access to the docks and shipyards on the north bank, whatever the weather.
The Woolwich foot tunnel is lined with a cast iron tube of 3.9m exterior diameter, consisting of a series of rings joined together. Tunnellers worked around the clock in three eight-hour shifts and managed to dig an average length of 2.5m — or five rings — every 24 hours. The cast iron lining is faced in concrete set with glazed white tiles, and the 2.8m wide footway is paved with York stone flags.
