Pymme's Brook is a minor tributary of the River Lea (or Lee) in north London. This photograph was taken from the platform of Silver Street railway station, which straddles the brook.

Pymme's Park is a park in Edmonton, in the suburbs of north London. This image was taken on a dull and damp December afternoon.

Pymmes Lake was once part of the Pymmes Estate. The name came from a wealthy landowner called William Pymme who built a mansion nearby in 1327. In the 16th century the land was owned by Lord Burghley and later by Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury. The northern 33 acres of Pymmes Park was opened to the public in 1897, while the remaining 20 acres was established as an ornamental park and formally opened to the public on 16th June 1906. Victorian and Edwardian visitors to Pymmes Park used the lake for pleasure boating. Rowing boats and children's paddleboats were used on the lake until the late 1970s when the lake was turned into a wildlife sanctuary. The house itself burned down in 1940.

For at least the third time today there was an accident and associated road closure on or around the North Circular east of London, this time a few miles to the east around the Crooked Billet, and the westbound traffic went as far as Finchley. Luckily I was going in the other direction.

The building has long since been demolished to alter the route of the road.
