Grand Entrance Hall

When the Thames Tunnel opened in 1843, Sir Marc Brunel's Rotherhithe shaft was transformed into the Rotherhithe Grand Entrance Hall. Millions of visitors descended the grand staircases to visit one of the great wonders of the Victorian age.

The Grand Entrance Hall was closed to the public for over 140 years, but can be visited today on one of the regular tours organised by the Brunel Museum.

See our events page for details of upcoming tours.
