    Hiking

    Chadwell Spring is the original source of the New River, a water supply aqueduct that provides 8% of London's water. Today, the New River begins slightly to the west, at New Gauge.

    Chadwell Spring still provides up to 4.3 megalitres of water every day. The water rises up a 98-foot (30 m) circular basin, which is known as the 'banjo'. A stone monument adorns the circumference of the basin and is inscribed with historical dates and river distances.
