King Edward Memorial Park is a public open space in Shadwell, within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, on the northern bank of the River Thames. It was opened in 1922 in memory of King Edward VII. With an area of 3.3 hectares. The park includes a bandstand, waterfront benches, children's play area, bowling green, all weather football pitch and tennis courts. The Thames Path passes through the park. The Rotherhithe Tunnel consists of a single bore, 4, 860 feet (1, 481 m) long, carrying a two-lane carriageway 48 feet (14.5 m) below the high-water level of the Thames. Four shafts were sunk alongside the tunnel to aid construction and to serve later as ventilation and entrance shafts. The two riverside shafts, built in red brick with stone dressings, were fitted with iron spiral staircases to serve as pedestrian entrances. They are now closed to the public (the roofs were damaged during WWII, and the iron staircases became dangerous).[Wikipedia]
