"Honor Oak pumping station is a splendid building of 1901, with a tower topped by a French chateau roof. The tower is over the original 100-metre well, still in use. In front is Honor Oak Reservoir, the largest ever brick-built underground reservoir when completed in 1909. The roof is grassed over and is now used as a golf course."
