Not completely. There's a side road in Farringdon, where if you lay down in the middle of the road and put your ear to the grating, you can still hear the Fleet bubbling away below you.

I sometimes walk down that way for lunch, just to remind myself of what's hidden but not yet gone.

Ah - yes. Sorry - I assumed tjj meant the source had completely gone... That blog details parts of the Fleet that can still be seen (or heard!) to this very day... Good stuff!
