Viewed from the top of Belvedere Tower, Claremont Landscape Garden (see Image). The houses in the foreground are in Hersham, with the nearest ones being in Old Esher Road, fronting on to the River Mole. The railway is the South Western mainline out of London Waterloo towards Woking, with the train visible being on a southbound South West Trains service having just passed through Hersham Station. Beyond is Walton-on-Thames, with the tower of St Mary's Church prominent. The large expanse of water is the Queen Mary Reservoir, one of a chain of reservoirs south of Heathrow Airport. In the far distance is Slough Power Station, a biomass power station on Slough Trading Estate (see Image).
