Chambers Wharf
Currently, untreated sewage regularly overows into the River Thames from London’s Victorian sewerage systemvia combined sewer overows (CSOs). The proposed Thames Tunnel would intercept these overows through theuse of a new storage and transfer tunnel, which would link west London and Abbey Mills Pumping Station. Thesewage ow would then be transferred to Beckton Sewage Treatment Works via the Lee Tunnel. The reductionin untreated sewage entering the River Thames would bring long-term benets for the environment and users of the River Thames. In order to deliver the project we need a number of sites along the route and this documentidenties our current preferred site at Chambers Wharf.

We are proposing to use Chambers Wharf for thisconstruction work and to accommodate permanentstructures required to operate the main tunnel. The sitewould be used to drive the main tunnel to Abbey MillsPumping Station and receive the main tunnel fromKirtling Street; and to connect three existing local CSOsto the main tunnel via a long connection tunnel. Thethree CSOs are known as Greenwich Pumping Station,Deptford Church Street and Earl Pumping Station, andthe long connection tunnel is known as Greenwichconnection tunnel.
