Months ago a tunnel was clogged with a fatberg. It took a team of workers a month to move it. |
Thames Water since the Clerkenwell fatberg is just the latest of 200,000 greasy build-ups they have encountered over the past five years. |
Last year, the utility company found a fatberg the length of a Boeing 747 beneath Shepherd's Bush in west London. |
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. |
The fatberg had been clogging London's sewers and was dangerously close to flooding the streets with raw waste. |
The fatberg was found in a Kingston sewer, by Thames Water, after residents complained that they couldn't flush their toilets. |
