    Link in there to this interesting page:

    Millions of people pass under the River Thames each day, by rail, road or
    foot. We take it for granted. Just two centuries ago, the idea of going
    under the river would have seemed fanciful. Today, there are 20 different
    ways open to the public, and at least 25 further tunnels that most of us
    can't access.
