Nice little article The lost rivers that lie beneath London - BBC News

It would be brilliant if some of the lost rivers were opened up again, though can't see it happening.

They are sewers now, though the brickwork tends to be quite nice. There are some excellent exploration reports of the Fleet on the 28DaysLater website.

Are they not just for rainwater? You can't have every day sewerage flowing into the Thames. Besides, we are getting the new super sewers soon, not that they will make a difference to the underground rivers.

From what I recall, most of the storm sewers - to draw off rainwater - overflow into the shit sewers, hence the Thames discharges just about every time there's a heavy storm.

Every time I see this thread title, I find myself wondering if Subterranean Rivers was an associate of Ruddy Yurts.
