You've got to cross the River Thames!!
Your options are:
The "tunnel" is in fact 2 tunnels or bores. Each one is two-lanes wide and normally carries traffic in a single direction.
The Northern Bore is almost 100 years old (1897). It was designed for horses and carriages and not for today's heavy traffic. It is long and windy and cannot accommodate vehicles over 4m (13'4") in height. There is hardly a day does by without a lorry-driver attempting the impossible!!
The Southern Bore is more modern (1967), straighter, shorter and taller. It has lane restrictions in the rush-hour as is it restricted to one-lane to help the Northern bore traffic.
There can be over-night closures and restrictions.
Delays can be long particularly in rush-hours and at weekends.
BEWARE: There are long-term roadwork's on northern end of the tunnel
Pedestrians and cycles CANNOT use the Blackwall Tunnel
Pedestrians should use the Greenwich or Woolwich Foot Tunnels
Crosses the River Thames to join the North Circular Road (A406) with South Circular Road (A206).
It's free BUT queues can be long!!!
Two ferries operate the shuttle service across the River Thames
(Only one ferry at weekends)
Ferry closes at 7:45 p.m. (northbound) 8pm (southbound) or earlier
BUT don't leave it until the last minute it can close early
Closed on certain bank-holidays
This is an unusual crossing of the River Thames with spectacular views of the Thames Barrier
BUT allow plenty of time particularly Northbound during weekdays
Pedestrians can use the Woolwich Ferry (or the Woolwich Foot Tunnel at any time)
The "tunnel" is very old and windy with height restrictions
Allow extra time particularly in rush-hours
