Nevin, of the water service, said the fatberg was a build-up of inappropriate materials put into the sewer network. |

Last year, the utility company found a fatberg the length of a Boeing 747 beneath Shepherd's Bush in west London. |
|
The fatberg was found in a Kingston sewer, by Thames Water, after residents complained that they couldn't flush their toilets. |
|
The fatberg had been clogging London's sewers and was dangerously close to flooding the streets with raw waste. |
|
The latest fatberg was so big-boned it broke a 70-year-old sewer pipe, leaving Thames Water with a £400,000 repair bill. |
|
The fatberg was removed by workmen using high-pressure water jets. |
|
Thames Water since the Clerkenwell fatberg is just the latest of 200,000 greasy build-ups they have encountered over the past five years. |
|
Crouching down, it's possible to enter the trunk sewer to find the fatberg, but after a few minutes of searching it doesn't seem to be there. |
|
Months ago a tunnel was clogged with a fatberg. It took a team of workers a month to move it. |
