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 near Kingston University, the corridor is narrow and the river is largely in a concrete channel but it is still attractive in places as seen here looking upriver from the footbridge at the end of Mill Street.
