Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Tower Subway is a tunnel beneath the River Thames in central London, between Tower Hill on the north bank of the river and Vine Lane (off Tooley Street) on the south. In 1869 a 1,340-foot-long (410 m) circular tunnel was dug through the London clay using a cast iron shield, an idea that had been patented in 1864 by Peter W. Barlow but never built.

Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

Le Tower Subway (Tunnel de la Tour) est un tunnel sous la Tamise dans le centre de Londres, près — comme son nom l'indique— de la Tour de Londres. Son tracé relie Tower Hill sur la rive nord et Vine Lane (Tooley Street) au sud. Sa méthode de construction novatrice a introduit un modèle pour le percement du City & South London Railway en 1890, la première ligne du Tube, le métro de Londres dont les tunnels sont tubulaires.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Die Tower Subway ist ein 1869/70 erbauter Tunnel unter der Themse im Stadtzentrum von London, in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Tower of London. Er verläuft vom Tower Hill auf der Nordseite zur Vine Lane auf der Südseite. In diesem Tunnel wurden Personen mittels eines Wagens transportiert, und die Tower Subway gilt damit als erste U-Bahn der Welt, die in einer tiefliegenden Röhre erbaut wurde. Die erste in offener Bauweise errichtete U-Bahn war die Metropolitan Railway im Jahr 1863 gewesen.
