The River Westbourne is a small river in London, England which flowed from Whitestone Pond on Hampstead Heath down through Hyde Park to Sloane Square and then into the River Thames at Chelsea and now in common with several urbanised streams its catchment basin contributes to a network of surface water drainage channels and underneath its route lies a sewer.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.... As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see “the River Tiber foaming with much blood.””
—J. Enoch Powell (b. 1912)
