Sloane Square Aqueduct
From Graces Guide
A surprising feature of Sloane Square underground station is the presence of an iron aqueduct crossing the Circle and District Lines and station platforms. Built in 1868?
It carries the River Westbourne. More information here.
'... From Sloane Square Station the imprisoned river takes a direct course as if ashamedly hurrying to oblivion, for the Grosvenor Canal or petty dock, which runs into the Thames in close proximity to the railway bridge ....'[1]
