Info
The Hogsmill River in Surrey, England, is one of the tributaries of the River Thames. It rises in Ewell and flows into the Thames at Kingston upon Thames on the reach above Kingston road bridge. The river is 6 miles (9.9 km) in length and has a catchment area (water basin) of 73 km². The river flows through low-lying land, most of it sports grounds and green space, with the exception of Kingston town centre.The 12th century Clattern Bridge, one of the oldest road bridges in England, crosses the river in the centre of Kingston. The Coronation Stone, now sited close to the river in Kingston, is believed to have been used for the coronation of Saxon kings in the 10th century. It was used as a horse mounting block until 1850 when it was mounted on a plinth in the town centre.
The river has five tributaries: Green Lanes Stream, Ewell Court Stream, Horton Stream, Bonesgate Stream and Tolworth Brook, as well as Hogsmill Stream, the main spring of the river just outside Bourne Hall Park in Ewell.
