The Schweppes tunnel starts with some amazing street art on the concrete walls.
As you navigate your way inside, light streams down from grates in the ceiling giving you the sense you’re in a lit corridor.
Moving onward the tunnel changes to a more older looking brick and slate walling before returning back to concrete just as you burst out topside.
Named after its “V” like shape at its entrance, The V tunnel is rather pleasant compared to others — no bending required! Most duck-walk here as you navigate your way inside.
After a few twists and turns The V changes to an arched like structure as it passes under several large industrial buildings.
About half way through the floor has given way so be careful.
Moving onward the tunnel changes once again; becoming more rectangular with large steel beams supporting the roof. Cars race above here giving the tunnel some acoustic charm right before busting out topside…
As you enter St Paul’s Retreat you immediately get to the first junction room — a small room with a ladder leading up to a manhole cover.
Continuing on and up you come to a waterfall junction with a large tree branch seemingly lodged within the ladder. Use it to negotiate your way to the higher level pipe and continue…
The normally reinforced concrete piping converts to steel before you exit into the daylight, signalling the end of another awesome tunneling journey!
