The Longford River is an artificial waterway, a distributary designed to embellish a park, that diverts water 12 miles (19 km) from the River Colne at Longford near Colnbrook in England, to Bushy Park and Hampton Court Palace. Its main outlet is to the reach above Molesey Lock with lesser pond outlet channels to that above Teddington Lock (of the Thames). The waterway was built for King Charles I in 1638/39 as a water supply for Hampton Court. Water features in Bushy Park were added in 1710. North of the A30, its course has been diverted more than once as London Heathrow Airport has grown. Its cascades, grassed banks and fountains in Bushy Park were restored and reopened to the public in 2009 to close to their original state.

  • Der Longford River ist ein Wasserlauf in Greater London. Er wurde 1638/1639 auf Veranlassung von Charles I. von angelegt, um Wasser für den Hampton Court Palace und den angrenzenden Bushy Park bereitzustellen. Der Longford River zweigt an der nordwestlichen Ecke des Flughafens Heathrow vom River Colne ab. Er fließt im Westen und Süden des Flughafens parallel zum Duke of Northumberland’s River und wendet sich dann östlich des Terminal 4 des Flughafens nach Südosten und verläuft durch Feltham. Der Longford River wird an verschiedenen Stellen vom Bushy Park und dem aus in die Themse weitergeleitet. (de)
