A hidden subterranean garden has been revealed in London’s sewers.
Tell me more!
Loo Gardens is a magical subterranean installation within the Thames Tideway Tunnel. The tunnel is also known as London’s ‘super sewer’, created to symbolise the healthier future of the River Thames.
The incredible garden installation reflects the positive environmental impact the super sewer will have on London.
Why is it here?
It’s celebrating the Thames Tideway Tunnel, by Tideway, which starting next year will be helping to prevent millions of tonnes of raw sewage from entering the Thames River every year - better for the people of London and it’s wildlife!
