The Hogsmill River

The Hogsmill River is a small tributary in southwest London, flowing from Surrey into the River Thames. It spans approximately 6 miles and passes through woodland, parks, and urban areas. Historically, it played a role in local industry and resisted pollution, now serving as a natural habitat for wildlife and a scenic corridor for recreational activities. The river contributes to Greater London’s green spaces and helps maintain ecological balance, making it valuable both environmentally and historically for the communities it traverses.
