Thames Wharf - Climbing Through to the Back Alley - Secret #2

Just outside the doorway to the right is the switch you passed earlier. If you didn't already do so, pull it to re-open the green trapdoor.

Safety drop onto the L-shaped ledge below and shoot another crow.

Now turn to face the wall. Notice the 5 small openings along the front of the building. Jump up to grab the edge of the one above the blue door. Traverse to the right along the nearly invisible crevice and pull up into the next opening to get some shotgun shells. Back out and hold Action to hang from the edge. Then continue traversing to the right. Pull up into the rightmost opening. This is SECRET #2, another box of shotgun shells. Again, back out, hang from the edge, and traverse to the left until you can drop onto the L-shaped ledge.

NOTE: If you don't already have the SHOTGUN, you'll get it here instead of the shells in the secret alcove.

Now pull up into the opening second from left.

Crawl in and follow the tunnel to a T intersection. Turn right...

...and continue to a small ledge high above another alley.

Across the way you'll notice a painter's scaffold. There's no need to climb over to it now, though. Hop across to the button and press it to uncover another button elsewhere.

Hop back to the ledge near the crawlspace (or climb over the slightly higher ledge if that's easier). Then crawl back through the tunnel.

Continue straight through to the opening ahead.

Turn around, safety drop out of the opening onto the sloping roof below, and slide down onto a stack of blocks.

NOTE: Lara will lose a smidgen of health in the drop onto the angled roof. To avoid this, turn left at the T intersection inside the crawlspace, follow the tunnel to the end, and drop down onto the L-shaped ledge. Then move to the right end of the ledge (when facing out across the alley). Safety drop onto the slope below the ledge, slide back, grab the edge, and drop down.
