A cyclist heading up from King's Cross towards the Angel can relax now - the hard work is done and it's downhill from here. St Pancras station can be seen in the distance.

Islington, London, N1
Pentonville Road (A501) looking towards the spire of The St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel. On the south side of the road is the Claremont Square Reservoir (a.k.a. The Top Reservoir), a supplementary reservoir. In the early 18th century, as the result of an increasing demand for water to the Georgian houses that had been built on this higher ground; i.e. higher than ‘The New River’, an 17th century aqueduct that had been built to carry water from Ware to Islington, “fresh” water had to be pumped uphill to the open reservoir that preceded this covered one. In between 1708-68 the water was pumped up from the lower Round Pond - near to Sadler's Wells - to this Upper Pond using a windmill, then a horse mill and finally an engine. The open pool was replaced by this covered reservoir in 1856 and is still in use, ringed by the original iron railings.

New River College, White Lion Street, Islington (3)
This handsome building (formerly White Lion Street School) is now run by the London Borough of Islington as a Key Stage 4 college and youth centre. This view is looking west across rooftops from Baron Street.
The college takes its name from the New River, a seventeenth-century artificial 'river' which carried drinking water 20 miles from the River Lee and Amwell Springs in Hertfordshire to reservoirs in Islington. One of these reservoirs stands in nearby Claremont Square and is still in use by Thames Water.
