Coppermill Lane is an extension of Walthamstow High Street and leads past Walthamstow Reservoirs to eventually reach the Lee Navigation and Springfield Park. Although it is a road here, vehicles cannot proceed beyond the low bridge carrying the railway between Tottenham Hale and Clapton. Coppermill Lane takes its name from an old copper mill which would once have been on the River Lea. The bridge just ahead crosses the Lee Flood Relief Channel, and beyond that Walthamstow Reservoir No 5, with its island, is on the right.
