Just tried to pay #TFL toll for #BlackwallTunnel Eventually succeeded but I think the website is dreadful! Doesn’t make it easy to pay if you are an occasional user. Dartford Toll payment system much more user friendly.

Great to see the new Rotherhithe foot/cycle ferry finally in action, but the fare is obscene: £4.10! Plus:
🚫 no concessions/discounts
😱 Works out at TWENTY FIVE POUNDS per mile
💸 Still more expensive than even the peak time #SilvertownTunnel or #BlackwallTunnel toll
This is unacceptably expensive.

The official opening ceremony for the Blackwall Tunnel in east London.

22 May 1897: The Blackwall Tunnel under the River Thames in London was officially opened. #History #London #BlackwallTunnel

As I walked around the market, I found the traders friendly, and some were happy to engage and let me capture their colourful stalls.

Silvertown Tunnel We're building a new tunnel under the Thames, linking Silvertown to the Greenwich Peninsula in east London

If you use the Blackwall Tunnel in London, you're likely to have to pay soon. There are a few exempt people and organisations.

Tommy Flowers is now immortalised by the opening of a micro pub named in his honour in Aberfeldy Street, and this image by #JimmyC captures him perfectly.

Originally designed to provide social housing, the tower underwent significant internal modernisation in the 2010s, making it gentrified and sold to private owners.

Whatever your view, it certainly catches your eye, and the Victoria and Albert Museum has preserved part of the building.

This is a simple image showing Blackwall DLR cutting through the horizon and the residential Charrington Tower dominating the backdrop.

Stop the Mayor of London charging £8 per day to use Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnels Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

Freedom of movement has been sold into financial slavery. TfL’s tolls on Blackwall & SilvertownTunnel shackle Londoners with yet another cost, turning public infrastructure into a tool of exploitation. We deserve better. #BlackwallTunnel #SilvertownTunnel #FreeMovement #TheKentTax

‼️The fare for the Cable Car, the only step-free option to cycle across the river east of Tower Bridge, will be FOUR AND A HALF TIMES the off-peak toll to drive a car through #BlackwallTunnel or #SilvertownTunnel. 💰😰

I’d recommend visiting the Gallery whenever you’re in the area as there’s always something playful, interesting or thought-provoking on display.

It’s always a delight to see an Uber Boat by Thames Clipper on the river. This time it’s Monsoon Clipper sailing past Canary Wharf viewed from Olympian Way by the Intercontinental Hotel.

#BlackwallTunnel 16/08/2024 - #013/#017: #DrawDock Views

Walking The Thames is full of surprises, and here’s one close to the O2. Blackwall Point Draw Dock was used by the Gas Company in the 1880s to land and off/load goods It now provides stunning views of Canary Wharf and great as a film location

This is a time capsule of old London Industrial life. The business long since shut down along Tunnel Avenue, remains untouched and unchanged from the day it last closed its doors.
