Guided Tours by Tube Train Through The Floodlit Thames Tunnel |
![]() You are traveling through the first underwater shopping arcade. |
![]() Your tour will meet at the Brunel Museum and walk thirty paces to nearby Rotherhithe Station for a short talk on the history of the tunnel and it's place in world engineering history. The party descends to the platforms to catch the first northbound train. As the train goes through the floodlit tunnel your guide gives a running commentary on the tunnel's eccentric past. At Wapping we alight for spectacular views of the lighted portico and a talk about the art on the platform, taken from contemporary prints, before climbing a few steps into the shaft. The ascent to the booking hall is by lift and the descent back to the platform is by spiral staircase, guided all the way, don Brunel's original shaft. The next south bound train takes the party back to Rotherhithe and to the museum. To take part either book tickets through the online shop or alternatively turn up on the day. |
