Woolwich foot tunnel
The Woolwich foot tunnel crosses under the River Thames in East London from Woolwich in the Royal Borough of Greenwich to North Woolwich in the London Borough of Newham. The tunnel offers pedestrians an alternative way to cross the river when the Woolwich Free Ferry service is not operating. Both entrances to the tunnel are Grade II listed buildings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Listed Buildings Online: Entrance To Woolwich Pedestrian Tunnel )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Listed Buildings Online: South Entrance Rotunda Woolwich Foot Tunnel )〕 The south entrance is now somewhat hidden behind the Waterfront leisure centre.
==Construction==
The tunnel was designed by Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice and built by Walter Scott & Middleton〔(Engineering timelines )〕 for London County Council and opened by Lord Cheylesmore, Chairman of the LCC, on Saturday, 26 October 1912.〔(Opening of Woolwich footway tunnel London County Council Published in 1912 )〕
Its creation owed much to the efforts of working-class politician Will Crooks who had worked in the docks and, after chairing the LCC's Bridges Committee responsible for the tunnel, would later serve as Labour MP for Woolwich.
