• zeristor 5y ago
  Currently the River Fleet isdiverted into a sewer, but it sometimes overflows into the Thames, or backs up into office basements… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Fleet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Fleet Looks lovely from the old paintings, there’s supposed to be barge moorings in what is now the sewer. The Thames overflow comes out under Blackfriars bridge, however the the Thames Tideway tunnel is being built to reduce overflow events: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_Tideway_Scheme https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_Tideway_Scheme So there’s the Crossrail tunnel, Thames Tideway tunnel, and the recently completed National Grid tunnel to carry extra electricity through London. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Power_Tunnels https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Power_Tunnels
