As far as I know the passage is inside the gateline - as the gateline
blocks the travelator and the steps, and the other end of the passage
is inside the gateline for the rest of the tube station.

But, you could just get the DLR from limehouse or something and go all
the way to waterloo without passing gates..


You can do the same by boarding a WAGN Great Northern, inner or outer
suburban, train at just about any station (subject to the rare on train
check), travelling to Old Street, Northern Line to Bank and W&C to Waterloo.
Having made the journey from Hitchin to Portsmouth recently and not having
my ticket checked until travelling on the Portsmouth train, I know this is
possible.
