Silvertown Tunnel Works From The Cable Car – 6th April 2025

As the Silvertown Tunnel opens tomorrow, I thought I’d take a last few pictures before the tunnel is filled with traffic.

Google AI describes the distinctive green conical building in many of the pictures like this.

The distinctive green conical building at the Silvertown Tunnel entrance in Newham is a services building housing essential tunnel maintenance and operation equipment, placed on a green landscaped plinth above the tunnel entrance.

Compare these pictures with those in Silvertown Tunnel Works From The Cable Car – 8th January 2025.

This Google Map shows the North entrance to the Silvertown Tunnel.

Note.

1. The red arrow indicates City Hall.
2. Just to City Hall’s East is the Northern cable-car terminal.
3. A dual-carriageway A 1011 Silvertown Way separates City Hall from the North entrance of the Silvertown Tunnel.
4. The City Airport branch of the Docklands Light Railway forms a Western border to the North entrance of the Silvertown Tunnel.
5. You can always trust politicians to make it easy for their drive to work.
