The Greenwich Foot Tunnel crosses beneath the River Thames in East London, linking Greenwich (Royal Borough of Greenwich) in the south with the Isle of Dogs (London Borough of Tower Hamlets) to the north. The tunnel was designed by civil engineer Sir Alexander Binnie[3] for London County Council and was constructed by contractor John Cochrane & Co. The project started in June 1899, and the tunnel was opened on 4 August 1902. The tunnel is a convenient link between Greenwich town centre on the southern side — the entrance is close to the restored clipper Cutty Sark — and parts of Docklands including Canary Wharf. The northern entrance to the tunnel is at Island Gardens, a park on the southern tip of the Isle of Dogs, with excellent views across the river to the former Greenwich Hospital, the Queen’s House and the Royal Greenwich Observatory. Because of its depth and location, the tunnel remains cool even on hot days.

My site has changed from Greenwich Tunnel to the East London Gas Holder. Located near North Greenwich station this big open space and its height offer a view of the area. Using its height and circular shape I have placed a speed ramp within. The speed ramp comes in different degrees of shape, which thus creates different velocities of speed. The access to various sights of Greenwich offers a full view of the surrounding vista. the

The site located on the Greenwich Peninsula by the Thames in south-east London, the works was built between 1881 and 1886. Most of the works was built on a greenfield site on Greenwich Marshes.[1][2] The start of work on the site was complicated by proposals to build a dock system on the peninsula, similar to that on the Isle of Dogs across the river. Originally proposed in the 1850s, this plan was resurrected in the 1880s, but eventually came to nothing
