"Wot no Water!". The New River Loop has been drained for cleaning etc. and the warm, dry weather has dried up the mud.

The New River in the centre of Enfield
The New River was completed between 1609 and its official opening on 29th September 1613. It was designed to bring clean water to London at a time when the heavily-polluted River Thames was the main source of drinking water. Sir Hugh Myddleton devised a 40 mile course that followed the contours of the land and only dropped about two inches every mile. It ran from springs near Ware in Hertfordshire to New River Head near the Angel, Islington but now finishes at Stoke Newington.
The New River remains an essential part of London’s water supply. The part to the south of Stoke Newington, where it survives, is more like a linear pond, but from Green Lanes upriver the water still flows as it has done for over 400 years. Much of it is followed by the New River Path but not here next to Southbury Road in the centre of Enfield where it is more an ornamental feature. This view looks upriver.
