Does anyone know the name of the tunnel that is located under Grosvenor road in Pimlico situated close to vauxhall bridge. I've taken a photo opposite of it from Riverside walk in vauxhall.

  4. >There’s not much more than rivulets across the soupy sand to see of the venerable stream here today, but such is the Tyburn’s modest tribute to the Thames. Iron sluice gates constrain this portal to times of emergency overflow, much to the river’s benefit. The Tyburn’s waters, steeped with the effluence of affluence, are no longer fit for mixing into the carefully protected Thames. Nonetheless, while removed from its job as a tributary, the river Tyburn is enjoying its quiet retirement beneath the city and does appreciate the odd visitor.

  8. It’s the King’s Scholars Pond Sewer.

    You can see its course indicated on the last map on this website that shows the main sewers of London: https://mappinglondon.co.uk/2014/londons-other-underground-network/

    Although nowadays it’s only used as a storm relief when the sewage system is overwhelmed by storms/floods, and with the completion of the Thames Tideway sewer it should hopefully not really see any use anymore.

  16. Isn’t that the Tyburn? One of the buried rivers, this is where it enters the Thames.
