The Thames Tunnel, London

The Thames Tunnel is an underwater tunnel, running beneath the River Thames connecting Rotherhithe and Wapping, built between 1825 and 1843. It was originally designed for horse-drawn carriages but instead was used by pedestrians and became a tourist attraction. In 1869 it was converted into a railway tunnel as part of the East London line which, since 2010, is part of the London Overground railway network under the ownership of Transport for London
