We are proposing to use the foreshore of the River Thames, south of Victoria Embankment (A3211), for construction work and to accommodate permanent structures required to operate the main tunnel. The site would be used to control the existing local CSO, known as the Regent Street CSO, by connecting the northern Low Level Sewer No.1 to the main tunnel.
These works, along with our works at the Blackfriars Bridge Foreshore and Chelsea Embankment Foreshore sites, mean that we do not need additional sites to intercept the following CSOs along the northern embankment: Smith Street, Queen Street, Church Street, Grosvenor Ditch, Kings Scholars Pond, Western Pumping Station, Northumberland Street, Savoy Street, Norfolk Street and Essex Street.
The location of the site is shown above. The site is located in the foreshore of the River Thames, with part of the site extending west onto the Victoria Embankment (A3211), along which the Thames Path is located. The Tattershall Castle floating bar and restaurant is located within the site. The Hispaniola restaurant ship lies immediately to the north, with the Hungerford rail bridge/ Golden Jubilee footbridges and Embankment Pier beyond. Embankment Station is located to the north. Beyond Victoria Embankment (A3211) to the west is Victoria Embankment Gardens. The site is within the Whitehall Conservation Area.
