The Falconbrook was a stream that rose in Balham and Tooting, draining much of those parishes then the south and west of the larger district of Battersea including Clapham Junction to enter the London reaches of the Thames. Before doing so it briefly formed the border of Wandsworth Town, reflected in the SW11/SW18 boundary today. The river was culverted in the 1860s and has become an important combined sewer. In 2007 heavy rain caused this to flood, to low but still property-damaging depth, at Falcon Road near Clapham Junction station.

  • كان فالكونبروك عبارة عن جدول نشأ في بلهام وتوتينغ، مما أدى إلى تجفيف الكثير من تلك الأبرشيات ثم جنوب وغرب منطقة باترسي الأكبر بما في ذلك تقاطع كلافام لدخول روافد لندن لنهر التايمز. قبل القيام بذلك، شكلت لفترة وجيزة حدود مدينة واندسوور، المنعكسة في حدود SW11 / SW18 اليوم. (ar)

  • Hering's Sewerage in Europe map of 1882 . Click for broader map and to enable varied magnification. The route of the replaced stream is two lateral sewers partly for treated discharge via the S.LLS but otherwise for taking storm combined sewerage from the Southern High Level sewer to the Tideway which can take weeks to flow out to sea entirely, and so overwhelmingly into the supersewer the Thames Tideway Tunnel from 2025.
