The Thames Tideway works will soon (relatively speaking) be coming to an end. Sights like this, a security station that guards access to the Blackfriars Embankment site, will disappear, to be replaced with other works on other key pieces of infrastructure.

In a city that never sleeps, there is never a time where there are no significant civil engineering works going on.

There is no time for the city to take a breath and relax.

The show must go on...
