Ha! knew it all along ;-)

Interesting story Tuesday. Incidentally, the River Fleet still flows under the British Museum (think it's the Fleet) and can be seen from an area in it's lower basement. Up to the middle of the 1980s parts of the basement used to get flooded whenever there was a heavy downpour in London - don't know if that still happens though (flooding that is not downpours).

oh man, don't get me started on that stuff - I've been obsessed with London's lost waterworks for the last few years and it's not really a megalithic subject (it's pre-megalithic in fact) - but I think what you refer to is possibly a spring or tributary. The Fleet is a little further east and is still there deep underground - I visited it a couple of years ago. You can't get rid of a river.

When is someobody going to write a book about megalithic London? We have Boudecea's tomb (in fact possibly an iron age round barrow) and the London Stone (possibly Roman and now boxed into the wall of the Bank of China) and that's it as far as I know....
