Curtains were soaked in lime to counter the effects of this city's "Great Stink," caused by a hot summer and outdated sewers. Sewers in this city built by Edwin Chadwick emptied into its main supply for drinking water, leading to more outbreaks of the cholera they were supposed to counter. John Snow created a (*) map of its outbreaks of cholera near the Broad Street pump, showing the disease was caused not by miasma but contaminated drinking water. Joseph Bazalgette built the Victoria and Chelsea Embankments for a new sewage system, which largely solved the problem of cholera by depositing this city's waste downstream. For 10 points, name this city which now receives cholera-free water from the River Thames.
