An interesting story that you can tell to impress your guests at your next candle lit black tie dinner.
But I like it because of the early graphic design pictures.

Great story , Thanks.
It’s not the only lost river in London. The River Westbourne flows through this steel conduit in Sloane square station

I do like the way they have a roof over the river, so that it doesn’t get wet in the rain.

That’s so that the rich people don’t have to see the poo.
Or chuck any bodies in
Rather a romantic name for a sewer.

a blog of sewer explorers.
While it’s true that many of London’s “Lost Rivers” and sewers are combined, meaning they contain both rain water and sewage, most tend to lean more towards the latter. The Ranelagh Sewer, aka The River Westbourne / Kilburn is slightly different in this respect. This is down to a number of reasons, frequent interception, diversion, minimal interaction with smaller foul sewers, partial alternation of its mainline into a storm relief and construction of an infall from the Hyde Park Serpentine. As a result the majority of the middle and lower sections of the system are much more hospitable than that of say the Effra or Fleet. Although falling over would still cause an early end to the night, the chance of returning to your feet with brown and red content stuck to your face is greatly reduced.
The Ranelagh for many, myself included, is where their adventures into sewer exploration truly began. It’s mixture of large diameter tunnels, array of features, relatively clean waters and historical significance to the area are more than enough to attract even the most cautious of sceptics.
