Repairs underway after double-decker-bus sized 'fatberg' removed from London sewers

Repairs have started after Britain's biggest ever "fatberg" - the size of a double-decker bus - was removed from a London sewer.

The 15-tonne mass of food fat mixed with wet wipes and sanitary products was formed in drains under Kingston upon Thames.

Thames Water said the sewer was almost completely clogged with over 15 tonnes of fat.

Repairs on 20 metres of damaged pipe are expected to take six weeks.
