River Over the Rails at Sloane Square | London News

Hidden beneath Sloane Square Station in London, the Westbourne River flows right over the tracks—a ghost of history still alive in green pipes. Built in 1868, the station was forced to reroute the river, and today, it’s the only visible stretch above ground. During WWII, the station was bombed, killing 37, yet the iron pipe survived untouched. Once vital for London’s drinking water, this river now silently runs beneath the city’s busiest Tube hub—waiting for you to spot it next time you pass through.
