From sewage shaft to public plaza: Putney’s newest public space opens

A former Thames Tideway building site in Putney has been turned into a new public space, expanding the riverside walkway next to Putney Bridge.The new plaza-style space sits on top of a 36-metre deep shaft which is now forming part of the sewer diversion as the combined sewer overflow (CSO) shaft will take sewage from the older local sewage mains and drop it down to the Tideway tunnel. Once the construction left, the top was converted into a public space beside the river.
