The Victorian couple in the Greenwich Foot Tunnel

Greenwich Foot Tunnel, south entrance

Tunnel opened 1902; sightings undated

The Greenwich Foot Tunnel runs under the Thames to the Isle of Dogs and opened in 1902. Spooky Isles describes its claustrophobic atmosphere and cold, damp air, and says a select few have seen figures of a couple in Victorian clothes.

They seem to be the ghosts of a couple out for a nice day's stroll to Greenwich, and they approach other tunnel users, fading as they come close. The writer adds that this is not the only haunted tunnel in the Greenwich area.

No witness, date or number of sightings is given, so this is a single article's summary of a local tradition. The tunnel crosses the borough boundary and the pin is at the Greenwich end.
