Ravers hold improvised party in foot tunnel under River Thames | UK News
Next time you take a stroll through one busy London tunnel you could be in for a shock.
The Greenwich Foot Tunnel, which links Greenwich on the south bank of the River Thames with Millwall on the north, turned into a party scene this weekend.
A video posted on Instagram by @london_ukstreetnews shows a crowd singing and dancing to tunes in the 1,215 feet-long tunnel, which was bombed on the first night of the Blitz during World War II.
One Uber delivery biker even got to pedal through the party with ravers chanting ‘bike, bike, bike’ in the video.
After seeing the video of the party circulating on social media, people flooded to the comments section to express their surprise.
The Greenwich foot tunnel, first built in 1902, is one of two-fully pedestrianised tunnels linking key parts of London that are north and south of the river – the other called the Woolwich tunnel.
The Woolwich tunnel connects Woolwich to North Woolwich, in Newham, and the Greenwich path allows pedestrians to walk from Cutty Sark to Island Gardens, in Tower Hamlets.
More than 1.5 million people use the tunnels each year, according to the Royal Borough of Greenwich website.
The tunnels though, are home to many a ghost tale, with the spirits of Victorian man and woman said to be spotted roaming the paths late at night.
