This tunnel is a rare example of a passageway that's used by cars, pedestrians and cyclists. And no matter your mode of transportation, you'll get a moody setting that's perfect for light trail exposures.

The Rotherhithe tunnel is a public tunnel that starts on land and then goes underneath the River Thames. It's mainly used by cars, however there are narrow pavements on each side of the tunnel that can be used by pedestrians. To get this view, I stood at the GPS coordinate facing south as I captured the curvature of the tunnel.
