Dist:0.3km<br/>The Wandle has in its time been a heavily industrialised river, and, running through urban areas for much of its course, now retains little of the pristine beauty it had when Shelley walked its banks. But there do remain some pleasant stretches, as here beside River Gardens in Carshalton.
