BBC - Newsbeat - Britain's biggest 'fatberg' removed from London sewer
don't they monitor for such things? I assume it built up over years?
Britain's biggest ever 'fatberg' has been removed from a London sewer.
Thames Water say a "bus-sized lump" of food fat mixed with wet wipes formed in drains under London Road in Kingston, Surrey.
The blockage was discovered after residents in nearby flats complained they couldn't flush their toilets.
Thames Water believe if it wasn't removed it could have led to sewage flooding homes, streets and businesses.
