Known as the Brunel Tunnel and nicknamed ‘the eighth wonder of the world’ when it first opened 180 years ago, the tunnel was the first to be built under a river anywhere in the world. It remains a unique part of engineering history, and is often hailed as Marc Brunel’s masterpiece.
This exclusive Hidden London tour, which will only be held over a single weekend, will take you from the platforms at Rotherhithe onto the Overground rail tracks, exploring the tunnel all the way to Wapping and back with an expert guide.
