A mini-roundabout at the junction of Maple Avenue and Silver Birch Avenue, in a housing estate near Chingford in the outer north east London suburbs.

This estate was built some time in the 1980s on a combination of a previous road and non-residential land.

The original River Lea flowed 70 miles from Leagrove Marsh near Luton to the River Thames at Bow Creek. The River Lee Act of 1766 provided for the construction of 15 new cuts to straighten the course of the river by eliminating loops which made it difficult to navigate. The River Lee Navigation just west of here is one of those cuts and hence it is a navigation rather than a river. This though is the River Lea, seen here from Harbet Road. Unlike the Lee Navigation it is not accessible here. Historically the river is spelled Lea while the navigation is Lee.
