We review some infinite dimensional symmetries that appear indimensionally reduced classical general relativity.  Reducing from d=4to d=2 gives a two dimensional nonlinear sigma model with an infinitedimensional affine Kac-Moody symmetry called the Geroch group.Further reducing to d=1 (along a null Kill vector) enhances the Gerochgroup to a mysterious "hyperbolic Kac-Moody" symmetry.
