Brunel’s Thames Tunnel, between Wapping and Rotherhithe, was the first tunnel to be built under a river anywhere in the world. It took eighteen years to complete and opened in 1843. It was described as the ‘eighth wonder of the world’ and introduced methods of tunnelling still used today.

12th March 2010 was the penultimate day that the public will ever be given foot-access to the Brunels’ brilliant construction. I walked it from Rotherhithe to Wapping and back, stepping over the relaid rails of the East London Line, and marvelling.
