Can You Walk Through Rotherhithe Tunnel

Can You Walk Through Rotherhithe Tunnelにまつわる最新トピックを詳しく紐解きます。

If you are absolutely determined to walk through—maybe you lost a bet, maybe you’re writing a very strange travel blog—here’s the plan. Go between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., when traffic is lighter. Wear high-visibility clothing and carry a torch. Seriously, a torch. The tunnel’s lighting flickers like a horror movie, and one wrong step could land you in the drainage ditch.

Walk on the left-hand side, facing oncoming traffic, so you can see the headlights that might end you. And use the refuges. They’re your only friends. Pop into one every time you hear a lorry coming, and count to ten. It’s slow, it’s tedious, but it beats becoming a statistic.

The reward on the other side

If you make it to the north exit in Limehouse, you’ll emerge blinking like a mole with a hangover. The first thing you’ll see is a pub called The Mayflower, which is older than the tunnel itself. Go inside. Order a pint. Tell the bartender what you just did. They might laugh. They might give you a free snack. Either way, you’ve earned it.

And then take the bus back. Your legs will thank you. Your lungs will thank you. And your sense of self-preservation will finally stop screaming.
