In some of the great cities of Europe - Paris, Vienna, Prague, and Brussels - tourists bored with life above ground can descend below. All these cities have sewer museums and tours, and all expose their underbelly willingly to the curious. But not London, arguably the home of the most splendid sewer network in Europe.

Everything in a modern container port is enormous, overwhelming, crushing.

Night is the best time to visit sewers, because the businesses dispelling the most waste are closed, and the flows are calmer.

Rose George Quotes
