Duncan Terrace Gardens

You are standing on a strip of land that was once a vital artery for the entire city of London. This narrow, peaceful stretch of greenery follows the exact path of the New River, an engineering marvel completed in sixteen thirteen to bring fresh drinking water from Hertfordshire directly into the heart of the capital. For nearly three centuries, this water flowed in an open aqueduct through these fields, shaping the landscape long before the surrounding houses were built.
