Branch Hill pond was the ceremonial source of London’s lost river Westbourne. It was originally a spring-fed pool formed by excavating sands, and eventually filled in the 1880s.
The pond was painted on many occasions by John Constable while he lived nearby from 1819 to 1822.
The Westbourne can still be heard flowing from Branch Hill into Redington Gardens, where it is absorbed into a sewer.
