Thames Tunnel

East is a six-day London festival which nearly passed me by. The first I knew of it was a footnote in an email this morning from the Whitechapel Art Gallery. So much for the publicity department! East started last Thursday and ends next Tuesday (title link). The high spot is a brief reopening of The Thames Tunnel with a Fancy Fair organised by The Brunel Museum in Rotherhithe. This will be the first time Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s tunnel has opened to the public for 145 years, then it closes forever. Tickets are supposedly available through the London Transport Museum (CLICK).
