The River Westbourne is a small river in London, England which flowed from Whitestone Pond on Hampstead Heath down through Hyde Park to Sloane Square and then into the River Thames at Chelsea and now in common with several urbanised streams its catchment basin contributes to a network of surface water drainage channels and underneath its route lies a sewer.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“The river knows the way to the sea;
Without a pilot it runs and falls,
Blessing all lands with its charity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
