Key Features:
• Length: Approximately 370 meters (1,215 feet) long.
• Depth: Around 15 meters (50 feet) below the river.
• Architecture: A cast-iron tunnel lined with concrete and tiles, featuring two striking red-brick entrance domes—one in Greenwich, near the Cutty Sark, and one in Island Gardens.

Walking through the tunnel is free, and it takes about 5–10 minutes to cross. At the northern exit (Island Gardens), visitors are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Greenwich skyline, including the Royal Naval College and Cutty Sark—a scene famously captured in Canaletto’s 18th-century paintings.
