@Walter Hinteler,

An interesting video at the BBC-website: Thames Tunnel: Rare access to 'eighth wonder of world'

Quote:

The Thames Tunnel was once known as the eighth wonder of the world.

In Victorian times, hundreds of thousands of Londoners flocked to see it - amazed at how they were able to walk beneath the river.

However these days it is no longer a tourist attraction and the public rarely gets to see it, as Charlotte Franks reports.

@Walter Hinteler,
