The platforms are underground, at the northern end of Marc Brunel's Thames Tunnel. Access to the platforms is via Brunel's access shaft. The tunnel was opened for pedestrians in 1843, after a prolonged and eventful construction period. It was converted to a railway tunnel in 1869 for the East London Railway, which became the London Underground East London Line. In 2010, it became part of the Overground network. The new apartment block next door appears to be complete. (Compare with Image and Image)
