Was lucky enough to go on a helicopter flight from Denham Aerodrome into and flying over some of the most infamous landmarks of London - the views were breathtaking - during which I captured a main arterial road. #OnTheRoad

River Misbourne in Denham Country Park The Misbourne is a chalk stream that rises northwest of Great Missenden in SP8902 and runs for about 23 kilometres, as the crow flies, before ending where it joins the River Colne in TQ0585. Here, only about 1 kilometre upstream of the confluence with the Colne, it is still very shallow. This view was taken from the Denham Court Drive bridge.
