London`s Lost Rivers

From the sources of the Fleet in Hampstead`s ponds to the mouth of the Effra in Vauxhall, via the meander of the Westbourne through `Knight`s Bridge` and the Tyburn`s curve along Marylebone Lane, “London`s Lost Rivers” unearths the hidden waterways that flow beneath the streets of the capital. Paul Talling investigates how these rivers shaped the city – forming borough boundaries and transport networks, fashionable spas and stagnant slums – and how they all eventually gave way to railways, roads and sewers. Armed with his camera, he traces their routes and reveals their often overlooked remains: riverside pubs on the Old Kent Road, healing wells in King`s Cross, `stink pipes` in Hammersmith and gurgling gutters on streets across the city. Packed with maps and over 100 colour photographs, “London`s Lost Rivers” uncovers the watery history of the city`s most famous sights, bringing to life the very different London that lies beneath our feet.
