Lonely Planet review

Looked at objectively, this is just a pedestrian tunnel, built in 1902. But it's made quite thrilling by virtue of crossing beneath the River Thames. The echoing footsteps create a certain frisson and, thanks to the tunnel's slope, you see oncoming pedestrians' feet before their faces are revealed. (Although there's CCTV security, those prone to claustrophobia probably won't enjoy the experience.)
