If you're free this Sunday, I'm doing a free walking tour tracing London's greatest lost waterway - the River Fleet - from it's two sources on Hampstead Heath as it heads towards the Thames (with my dog Mango)

This 1746 map follows the Fleet from the Thames at Blackfriars along the Fleet Ditch, up Fleet Market (now New Bridge St) along Saffron Hill, past Clerk’s Well (now Clerkenwell) past Black Mary’s Hole & Battle Bridge (now Kings Cross) towards its source on the Heath #FreeTheFleet
The River Fleet has two main sources
The source in the Vale of Heath forms the Hampstead Brook running down Fleet Road
The source in Kenwood👇forms the Highgate Brook running down Tufnell Park Road
The two brooks meet in Kentish Town & flow together to the Thames & the ocean.
