Amazing scenes at More London today

The transatlantic tunnel linking London and New York has finally been completed after years of speculation as to where its exact location was. The huge drilling machine emerged in More London on Tuesday 20th May to the amazement of passers by....  

Very few people know of the existence of a secret transatlantic tunnel running between London and New York.

Over a century later, the engineer's great-grandson, Paul St George, discovered the location of the tunnel as well as his ancestor's plans for an invention called a Telectroscope: an astonishing device allowing people on one side of the world to see right through the tunnel from one end to the other… Get along to More London Riverside from Friday 23rd May to discover what it's all about.
