弗利特河

舰队河入口,塞缪尔·保罗,约1750年
舰队河在黑衣修士桥的入河口

弗利特河River Fleet),亦称舰队河,是伦敦最大的地下河,舰队街和霍尔本都是得名自这条河。 其源头是来自汉普斯特德荒野的两条溪流,这两条溪流在18世纪蓄水形成汉普斯特德池塘和海格特池塘,舰队河自俩个池塘开始,绵延4英里(6.4公里),在黑衣修士桥下注入泰晤士河。

舰队河的名字来自古英语“flēot”(涨潮的水湾) , 在罗马不列颠时代,舰队河还是一条主要地上河流,其河口可能还有世界最古老的潮力磨坊。 盎格鲁-撒克逊英格兰的舰队河附近有许多水井,13世纪时被称为“水井河”(River of Wells)。 工业革命时遭到污染,过度用水也使得其流量大为减小,19世纪因为摄政运河的修建而被覆盖。

The Fleet Ditch in 1844
Construction work in 1845 to deepen the sewer carrying the Fleet down Fleet Street

The River Fleet is the largest of London's subterranean rivers. Its headwaters are two streams on Hampstead Heath, each of which was dammed into a series of ponds, the Hampstead Ponds and the Highgate Ponds, in the 18th century. At the southern edge of Hampstead Heath these descend underground as sewers and join in Camden Town. The waters flow 4 mi (6 km) from the ponds to the River Thames.
