Dartford Crossings.

There are two crossings of the Thames at Dartford. A tunnel and a bridge. Travelling north you go through the tunnel. South you cross the bridge. They are both toll crossings.

It looks bad but the traffic is just slow moving for a bit, this side goes through 2 tunnels of 2 lanes each.
