Storm water pumping station in London / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Isle of Dogs Pumping Station, nicknamed the Temple of Storms, is a pumping station located on the Isle of Dogs, London. It was designed by John Outram under commission from Edward Hollamby of the London Docklands Development Corporation and completed in 1988. It removes excess rainwater collected on the development's Enterprise Zone and overflow from the nearby Manchester Road sewers. The station was granted grade II* heritage status by Historic England in 2017 during a campaign for greater representation of post-modern architecture on the register.
