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:
“If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
