∙ 9y ago'Chunnel' isn't a term that is used anymore. It was a media manufactured term for the Channel Tunnel when it was being built. In answer to your question, do you just want to look at the entrance or do you want to travel through the tunnel? You can't drive through it because it is a rail tunnel so you have two choices. If you want to take your car through the tunnel, you have to drive it on to a train and then drive it off again at the French side of the tunnel. If you are a visitor to London, the easiest way is to go to St Pancras International Station in London and get on a Eurostar train to Paris, Brussels or Lille and that will take you through the tunnel. Whichever method you choose, you will need your passport.
