Best sewer gas lamp in London, hands down!

One of the 101 things to see in London according to the timeout book of the same name. We spent an hour or so trying to track down this attraction — the last gas lamp powered by methane rising from the London sewers.
To find it walk up past the Savoy Hotel from Trafalgar Square, and the lamp is on Carting Lane (nicknamed Farting Lane).
Whether it is actually powered by sewer fumes or not is contentious. Although there is no wikipedia entry yet, other internet sites claim that the original lamp was knocked over by a reversing lorry and was never powered by sewer fumes, but was powered by natural gas and used to ventilate the sewers and prevent noxious odours befouling the neighbourhood.
Well its worth a look — let me know if you find out the truth!
