Instigated in 2001, the Thames Tideway Strategic Study, conducted by a group comprising Thames Water, the Environment Agency, DEFRA and the Greater London Authority, was intended to assess the impact of the CSO discharges into the Thames and to identify objectives and propose potential solutions. Tideway's Super Sewer is upgrading London's infrastructure to cope with demands well into the 22nd century and reconnecting the city with the iconic River Thames. The Thames Tideway Tunnel is a 25 kilometre interception, storage and transfer tunnel running up to 65 m below the river.

Tideway is the company delivering the Thames Tideway Tunnel. It is owned by a consortium of investors, namely Allianz, Amber Infrastructure, and Dalmore Capital. Preparatory work on the project began in 2015 when Bazalgette Tunnel Ltd., trading as Tideway, began operating as an independent regulated water company in August and construction at the three main hub sites in 2016 at each of their 24 sites in London. Work is anticipated to be completed by 2024 (other sources mention 2025).

The flag is a white horizontal background featuring the Tideway (a screw-shaped T) but instead of the traditional color scheme logo (which are different shades of blue and gray) it features other colors (red, orange, yellow, pink, purple, blue and white).
