The cast iron tunnel is 370 meters long and approximately 15 meters deep. It is lined with 200,000 glazed white tiles and under glass tile domes are located the shafts at each end. The tunnel entrance is at Cutty Sark Gardens, Greenwich, London SE10 9HT. It is close to the Cutty Sark ship. The entrance to the Isle of Dogs is located between Island Gardens and Poplar Rowing Club. The nearest DLR railway station is' Greenwich.' Why don't you have a day out in Greenwich?
