There is a bye law specifically prohibiting the riding of bicycles

The relevant acts are dated 1855, 1897 and 1903 and called :
The Thames tunnel (greenwich to Millwall) Act 1897 and the
Metropolis Management act 1855. One or both of these were updated
in 1903. Section 3 States: No person shall ride a bicycle, tricycle or
other
vehicle in the tunnel.

Excellent : do you know if penalties are defined and imposed?


If the penalties are specified in an act from 120 years ago, it could
be something fixed in monetary terms, which would now be tiny in value
given the effect of inflation.

Are you sure that these old acts weren't repealed by The Local Law
(Greater London Council and Inner London Boroughs) Order 1965?

Reworded in places certainly.
