Welcome to The London Machine. London is a city built on top of itself. Its streets follow vanished rivers. Its boundaries preserve forgotten disputes. Its infrastructure is shaped by old laws, improvised solutions and decisions made centuries ago. The London Machine explores the strange, overlooked and fascinating systems that created the modern city, and the traces they have left behind.
