Abbey Mills Pumping Station - Londarrnn - October 2010
Visited with a Host and OLDSKOOL
As part of our epic voyage to London just recently we visited here. It was very early in the morning, leaving Manchester at 1am, I had had no sleep. Woke up Friday 9am, went to Bed Saturday 9pm. Good times had all round, including OLDSKOOL urbexing your Photo Booths and Host playing hard to get at Spillers Mills (Report to follow).

Abbey Mills Pumping Station - Wikipedia
The original Abbey Mills Pumping Station, in Abbey Lane, London E15, is a sewerage pumping station, designed by engineer Joseph Bazalgette, Edmund Cooper, and architect Charles Driver. It was built between 1865 and 1868. It was designed in a cruciform plan, with an elaborate Byzantine style, described as The Cathedral of Sewage. It has a twin, Crossness Pumping Station, south of the River Thames at Crossness, at the end of the Southern Outfall Sewer.
Cheers
