Round the bend with Bazalgette 

The Salon marks the bicentenary of the birth of one of the greatest Londoner of all time: JOSEPH BAZALGETTE, a man without whose genius we would have all been dirtier, smellier - and possibly deader. But the great engineer was not the only Londoners to wage war on (human) waste in the city. Join LAURENCE SCALES, historian of engineering and politician ANDREW ADONIS as we lift the lid, hold our noses and sink into the stinking story of ..London Shit.  

LAURENCE SCALES formerly in the engineering profession, is an avid collector of the colourful and often neglected characters who made the extraordinary technological and scientific history of London. He offers London tours on this topic, has written numerous articles for Londonist.com, and is a pen for hire. He adds to his fund of knowledge by volunteering in the archives of the Royal Institution and Royal Society of Arts. 

ANDREW ADONIS is a Labour peer and former cabinet minister. He served as an education minister and Transport Secretary in the last Labour government before going on to chair the National Infrastructure Commission. He was founding chair of Frontline, helped set up Teach First and is currently campaigning for a People’s Vote.
