Happy as Pigs in Muck
This building with the two pink cylinders to the left is the primary sewage collection and pumping station for the Olympics.
Olympic Primary Foul Sewer and Pumping Station
Inevitably, the two cylinders have been named Pinky and Perky, by the wags on the site.
Note that I took the picture from behind the ViewTube, standing on this concrete box.
Connecting the New to the Old
I think the box is the connection between the station and Joseph Bazalgette‘s Northern Outfall Sewer. But for now it makes a good authorised viewing platform.
Nowhere in the vicinity could I find any information about the pumping station or the sewer.
I find that a serious omission.
