The Hogsmill River is a chalk stream since most of its water comes from the dip-slope springs at Ewell. Much of its course now forms a wildlife corridor followed by the London LOOP on its way to Kingston Bridge. In the centre of Kingston, the corridor is narrow and the river is largely in a concrete channel but it is still attractive in places. This is the view upriver from the bridge carrying Villiers Avenue over the Hogsmill.
