Sites - Woolwich Tunnel and Ferry

Use the tunnel or the ferry to cross the river so you don’t get wet! The Woolwich foot tunnel and ferry are the only means of crossing the River Thames near here. The ferry runs all day, every day and there is a lift for the tunnel. I love the sound of water dripping in foot tunnel. It is a perfect place to hang out and very calm. The ferry is fun. You can stand on deck and watch the river. There’s a good sports centre on the south side.
