Thames Tunnel at Rotherhithe in East London. It was a pedestrian tunnel that became a major tourist attraction with almost two million visitors a year paying a penny apiece to traverse it. Like many such underground walkways it sadly became the haunt of the homeless, muggers, and prostitutes and in 1869 was eventually transformed into a railway tunnel, becoming part of the London Underground system still in use to this day.
