Old road sign, Tunnel Avenue, East Greenwich
As this sign shows, the road gets its name from being the original route to the Blackwall Tunnel before the present A102 dual carriageway was built. HGVs are unlikely to come this way nowadays.

Footpath from Tunnel Avenue to the Odeon cinema
The footpath leads to the base of the steps to the footbridge over the A102, visible to the left of the photo. The cinema, visible in the background, was part of the Millennium development of the Greenwich peninsula, and the bridge may have been built at the same time.

Tunnel Avenue, East Greenwich
The "Avenue" only has trees along one side now, though maybe there were along both sides originally. The road gets its name from being the original route to the Blackwall Tunnel before the present A102 dual carriageway was built.

Why stop here?
One of those off-road cycle lanes that just comes to a stop - with a give way sign and tactile paving - several yards short of a road junction, for no apparent reason. This is on Tunnel Avenue, North Greenwich.

Queuing traffic on the Blackwall Tunnel approach
"Incidents" occur in the northbound Blackwall Tunnel quite frequently - usually collisions or over-height vehicles trying to enter the tunnel. This is the result - peak hour traffic queuing for miles. See
Image for the view in the opposite direction.

Bridge Over the A102, Greenwich
The footbridge ahead, which gives access from the Glenforth Estate in East Greenwich to the cinema and shops on the north side of the main road, also acts as a sign gantry.

Geotechnical investigation, Tunnel Avenue
Exploratory boreholes were being sunk for a Thames Water project in 2009. The notices did not give an indication of the nature of the project, though it would more likely be for drainage or sewerage (which tends to be deeper) than water mains (which tend to be fairly shallow).
Later note (2011): I now realise this was almost certainly to do with the Thames Tideway sewer tunnel project.
