5 Stop 5 of 9 on How London Was Built

The Buried River Fleet

Embankment, London

A Preview

"Look over the bridge at the river. Right below you, hidden in the stonework of the embankment, a second river empties into the Thames — one you'll never see flowing. It's called the Fleet, and it runs straight down under the street behind you, dropping toward the water beneath your feet the whole way. London has more than twenty rivers like this."
