This walk follows the lower reaches of a Thames tributary. Streams and brooks in central London were enclosed in conduits, but here in Barnes the stream is still on the surface for us to track down, although parts are hidden away behind buildings. On the way, discover the fates of the celebrated French operatic soprano Madame Saint-Huberty and the unfortunate consequences of an iceberg extension. Barnes has a highway for hedgehogs and we see some fine lions.
