    The Thames Tunnel opened in 1843 and was considered the Eighth Wonder of the World, drawing over 50,000 visitors on its first day and half of London's population within three months, making it the most successful visitor attraction globally at a time when travel was difficult. While intended for cargo transport to turn a profit, the Thames Tunnel became a tourist destination where people from far and wide traveled to walk through the first sub-river tunnel, bought souvenirs, and listened to entertainment in the arched cross-sections.

    When it opened in 1843 the Thames Tunn.

    el was described as the Eighth


    Wonder of the 'World. People carne from far and wide to see the first tunnel
    under a river. On the first day, fifty thousand people descended the staircase and
    paid a penny to walk through the tunnel. By the end of the first three months
    there were a million people,or half the population of London. This was the
    most successful visitor attraction in the world. In the age of sail and horse-
    drawn coaches, people carne long distances and bought souvenirs and listened
    to the entertainment in the cross tunnel arches. The idea, of course, was not
    entertainment but to move cargo and turn a profit
