This simple but beautiful and important image shows the principal rivers of London with their (unlabelled) tributaries. From the Colne in the West to the Ingrebourne in the East – the Wandle trundling in from the South to the Turkey Brook high up on the Northern escarpment.
Odd that they haven’t labelled the Darent and the Cray in the South East.
Also no label for the Walbrook, and no sign at all of the Neckinger!
Good spots – difficult to see a pattern to the labelling
Loved your “This Other London” book by the way!
Thanks Bob
Northumberland River is missing. Runs right alongside the Longford near me. I’d imagine 2 rivers couldn’t get any closer. About 2 metres on hatton Road. ( think it might be called duke of N’ land).
