Rivers like the Walbrook, the Fleet, or the Effra have left their mark on the city, and still form an important part of our subterranean world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the former watering hole by the Earl’s Sluice, where Canterbury pilgrims rested, David Bowie rehearsed, and Henry Cooper trained, to the Gardens by the Westbourne where a young Mozart performed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Counter’s Creek and its burial grounds of Kensal Green and Brompton to the River Effra and the West Norwood cemetery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the pipe carrying the River Tyburn over Baker Street Underground station to the grate in Farringdon through which the River Fleet can be heard (and seen).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Fathers shows the course of London's hidden rivers in a series of detailed guided walks, illustrating the traces they have left and showing the ways they have shaped the city.
