In London, thanks to Bazalgette and the LCC's burial of its rivers and streams, culverts are a rarity and few have escaped integration into the cities sewer system. The Beverley Brook Storm Relief Culvert, aka 'Little Boys' is a short 8ft diversion horseshoe culvert constructed in 1925 after repeat flooding to the Barnes and Putney area.

Oddly enough, although the BBSRC isn't a sewer and in no way interacts with the london system, it does appear on earlier editions of the LCC sewer map until 1947 when it was removed.
