Woolwich Foot Tunnel was opened by Lord Cheylesmore, Chairman of the LCC, on Saturday 26 October 1912.

It was designed by Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice and built by Walter Scott & Middleton for London County Council.

Its creation owed much to the efforts of working-class politician Will Crooks who had worked in the docks and, after chairing the LCC's Bridges Committee responsible for the tunnel, would later serve as Labour MP for Woolwich.
