About London's New River

'This manufactured river, less visible than the Lea, is less prone to joyless recreationists and fishing parties. In retirement, free of heritage prompts, it is good company.' (Iain Sinclair, Edge of the Orison)

The New River, once the City of London's main water supply, crosses four London boroughs and a lot of south Hertfordshire, where it has its source on the River Lee near Ware. This unique aqueduct is mostly non-navigable, though large stretches of the bank can be walked.

All shots of this historic waterway, urban and rural, are welcomed.
