The Duke's river is on the left. Both are here diverted around Heathrow Airport, although both were artificial rivers anyway. The Duke's 16th century river was to augment water supply for his mills by diverting water from the River Colne to the River Crane. The Longford River was dug in the 17th century to supply water to Hampton Court from the River Colne.
