About
A small museum located at the Brunel Engine House in Rotherhithe, which was designed by Marc Isambard Brunel as part of the Thames Tunnel infrastructure that opened in 1843 as the world's first underwater tunnel.
The Thames Tunnel (world's first underwater tunnel, opened 1843) is impressive historically. The Engine House building and rooftop garden are interesting. Best for children aged 8+ interested in engineering or Victorian engineering achievement. Limited opening (weekends mainly) requires planning ahead.
