There is a spring at Tooting Broadway, probably part of that mind-
boggling River Wandle complex. It is far below ground. A copper pipe
has been connected to the wall to direct the flow into a gutter. I do
not know where the gutter goes. The water is clear and looks
drinkable, but the pipe is so near the floor that it is hard to get


With the amount of pollution from industry and open sewers thats gone
into the ground around london over the last few hundred years I
wouldn't trust the water from any spring within a 20 mile radius of
the centre.
