The Foot Tunnel is a walking tunnel that runs under the Thames River and connects the two banks of the river. It was built by civil engineer Alexander Binnie in 1899 and opened in 1902. It allows you to reach Greenwich from the docks without taking the ferry and was mainly used at the time for workers. It is about 300 m long and 15 m deep, an elevator allows you to go down, but it is not in operation all the time and in this case you have to go down about a hundred steps and go up as many on the other side.

la plupart des touristes qui visitent Greenwich ne connaissent pas ce passage et il est vrai que rien ne l'indique. profitez en pour passer de l'autre côté de la Tamise où vous serez bien plus au calme pour apprécier la vue sur le fleuve et pourquoi pas pousser par les docks jusqu'à Canary Wharf (3/4 d'heure de marche), le nouveau quartier d'affaires londonien.

Je suis claustrophobe mais n'ai eu aucun problème à emprunter ce tunnel. Par contre, attention aux cyclistes, même s'ils sont sensés traverser à pied, peu le font et ils peuvent être verbalement agressifs.
