This vantage point was named after Alfred Lord Tennyson, a prominent 19th-century poet (born 1809, deceased 1892). His literary work was so enthusiastically received by the public that Queen Victoria knighted him – thus becoming the 1st Baron Tennyson – and bestowed the honorary office of Poet Laureate. His influence on later literature is evident, for example, in the fact that the Queen of Crime, Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie (Lady Mallowan), references his work "The Lady of Shalott" in one of her crime novels: "The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side." Not only is the title a quotation from that work, but Miss Jane Marple is also repeatedly reminded of the "Lady of Shalott" and quotes from it throughout the story.

Burton Mill Pond is part of the Burton Mill and Chingford Ponds Local Nature Reserve (LNR). Originating in the late 16th century to fuel a forge, the pond has a historical past. By the late 18th century, it played a vital role as part of a water mill for grinding corn, with the imposing structure by the road now standing as the remnants of the old mill. It's part of a fabulous landscape as you cycle along the road bordering its northeastern shore.
