Tideway sees the potential for London's sewage system to be transformed in just a year, and it is sharing its vision with a [subterranean garden installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vert-installation) called Loo Gardens. As it stands, the Thames Tideway Tunnel will be activated for testing next summer and it's set to be completed by 2025, supporting a more [sustainable sewage system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-toilet) and a healthier waterway.

Loo Gardens is set up 50 meters underground, within the Tideway Thames Tunnel, and it was made with repurposed waste that was cleared from the Thames. Complete with [hand-painted flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masterpeace-painting), the installation serves as a representation of how ecosystems above and below ground will thrive as a result of London's new super sewer.
