The Greenwich Foot Tunnel, opened in 1902, runs beneath the River Thames in London, connecting Greenwich and the Isle of Dogs. This 370-meter-long tunnel was designed by civil engineer Sir Alexander Binnie to replace an unreliable ferry service for workers traveling between the docks on both sides of the river.

The tunnel’s construction involved the use of cast iron rings and concrete, creating a cylindrical passage lined with white tiles. Large lifts and spiral staircases at both ends provide access to the tunnel, which sits 50 feet below the river’s surface.

Over the years, the Greenwich Foot Tunnel has become associated with various paranormal phenomena. One of the most persistent ghost stories involves sightings of a Victorian couple walking through the tunnel. Witnesses describe seeing a man in a top hat and frock coat accompanied by a woman in a long dress, both of whom vanish when approached.

Another frequently reported phenomenon is the sound of unexplained footsteps echoing through the empty tunnel, often described as following closely behind pedestrians. Some visitors have reported feeling a sudden drop in temperature and an overwhelming sense of unease while traversing the passageway.

There have also been accounts of shadowy figures darting across the tunnel’s length, disappearing into the tiled walls. Some witnesses claim to have seen these apparitions late at night when the tunnel is nearly deserted.

During World War II, the tunnel served as an air raid shelter. This period of its history has given rise to reports of spectral soldiers and the sounds of distant explosions echoing through the passage.
