River Pool

River Pool

The River Pool is a tributary of the River Ravensbourne. It is 5.1km (3 miles) in length, and rises (with its tributaries) between Shirley and West Wickham in the London Borough of Croydon. It then flows northwards through Beckenham (London Borough of Bromley) and Sydenham in the London Borough of Lewisham, to join the Ravensbourne in Catford. Two of its tributaries are the River Beck and the "Chaffinch Brook".

For much of its length the river lies in a floodplain, and land on either side is given up to sports grounds; a flood watch is kept continually on it.

In New Beckenham, the Riverpool Walkway, running north from Lennard Road near Cator Park, includes a conservation site and naturalised areas; the route is part of the National Cycle Network. At Sydenham, the section of the river that ran in a culvert under the gas works has been recently opened up, and landscaped.
