An agreement to repair a lift in a tunnel linking two London boroughs on either side of the River Thames has been reached. The northern lift of the Woolwich foot tunnel, which runs from Old Woolwich in Greenwich to North Woolwich in Newham, has been out of service since August 2022.
Both the north and south entrances, built by London County Council and opened in October 1912, are Grade II listed buildings. The tunnel is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is used by an estimated 300,000 pedestrians and cyclists each year.
