That's what happens when the main system is from the 16th Century. Pretty sure most of the UK were still using the street for sewers at that point.

Indeed that is how the original London sewage system was designed, to discharge into the Thames during the outgoing tide.

And it's only now they're fixing it. The super sewer is still being built IIRC. Interested to see the impact on the Thames when it's finished.
