Dist:0.2km north<br/>The Georgian mansion, originally named Paradise House, is due for a major make-over along with its immediate surroundings in Clissold Park. Currently housing a catering establishment, it will be made available for greater public access. The spire of St Mary's New Church beyond adds to its the charm but was not built until 100 years after the house.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>At first sight, and despite the name “New River”, this body of water has the appearance of a vegetation-covered stagnant pond. However, it transpires that this is part of a 20 mile man-made waterway that begins between Ware and Hertford in Hertfordshire and finishes in Stoke Newington in north London. At the point shown in this photo, it flows underground to re-emerge south of St Paul’s Road.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>The river goes underground here and emerges again in Islington. This short stagnant stretch of water is covered with duckweed and said to contain terrapins; it also attracts waterbirds while summer vegetation forms an interesting riverbank habitat.
