Join Open City to explore the past, present and future of London's sewers and sanitation infrastructure from the Great Stink of London in 1858 to today’s Tideway 'Super Sewer'

Led by Golden Key Academy graduate and educator Petra Cox, this above ground walking tour supported by Crossness & Habitats and Heritage follows the final section of the southern outfall sewer across the Erith Marshes to the Crossness Pumping Station on the banks of the River Thames.
Highlights include Crossness Pumping Station, Precipitation Engine House and Thames Water Sewage Treatment Works.

Open City

About Open City is a charity dedicated to making London and its architecture more open, accessible and equitable. Open City engages all citizens, particularly from under-represented backgrounds, in architecture and city-making. Our programmes – from the Open House Festival and its international network, to our pioneering education projects – open up buildings, conversations and careers to those normally locked out of them.
