The Capital Ring and Mutton Brook in Northway Gardens

Northway Gardens was laid out as part of the 'New Suburb' developed from 1911 when 112 acres of land were purchased to the east of the original Hampstead Garden Suburb - see http://www.londongardensonline.org.uk/gardens-online-record.asp?ID=BAR057 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampstead_Garden_Suburb The Mutton Brook follows the southern boundary of Northway Gardens and flows between the trees seen on the right. The Mutton Brook rises near Highgate Wood and flows into the Dollis Brook, which then becomes the River Brent. Much of the Mutton Brook flows in culvert through formal gardens but there are also some more natural sections. This is the view from near the entrance to Northway Gardens from Falloden Way, which is the busy and noisy A1.
