Seen as it emerges from the concrete tunnel that carries it under the North Circular Road, The New River was constructed in the early 17th Century to provide water for London. It remains an essential part of London's water supply to this day. On the left bank is the New River Path which allows pedestrians to follow its course. On the right is Russell Road and the Elim Pentecostal church.
