This is the One - By: mvonsaatz, 11 Aug 2005 
many others have written seemingly similar books since this one, but this is still the one you want It is well researched, authoritative & is exactly what it saysin the subtitle. Most other books cover part of the same ground & give the impression of being edited highlights of this one.
If you've ever wondered what was here before the metropolis, why certain streets are the shapes they are, why Pont Street is called that (the French for "bridge") or what that strange large pipe is over your headin Sloane square tube station - look no further!
A seminal London text - By: Colonel C, 15 Jul 2003 A fantastically-researched account of the buried tributaries of the Thames. Comes with old illustrations, photos & a beautiful pull-out sketch map of the routes of some of these lost streams. Guaranteed to get you out & aboutin London.
