New River Walk, Canonbury
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. It ran from 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 as here at the New River Walk in Canonbury, is more like a linear pond and does not have flowing water. The New River Walk is an attractive path alongside the water at all seasons of the year.

Gate, houses and trees reflected in the water
The water was so still today that the reflections, of trees in particular, were sharp in detail as if seen in a mirror.

The New River Islington N1
This is the New River in Islington. The linear park along its banks was closed and the river rather dry due to repair work on the pumps on the day the picture was taken. The New River is a welcome strip of green in an otherwise totally built up area. The "New" river is in fact an aqueduct constructed for 40 miles along the 100 ft contour from the River Lea. It brought fresh water to London for the first time in 1613. The part of the river shown here is now purely ornamental.
