Deptford Church Street

Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) Annie completed her 4.5km journey from Greenwich Pumping Station, tunneling through our sites at Deptford Church Street and Earl Pumping Station and into our Chambers Wharf shaft in Bermondsey.

In November 2022 the London Borough of Lewisham gave the green light for our landscape design and for the new permanent structures. Please see our information sheet for further details. 

To find out more about what's happening across the project you can watch our Tunnel Vision series on YouTube.
