	BBC - h2g2 - The Tyburn Tree, Hyde Park, London, UK
		The name Tyburn comes from the river that flowed through the area from South Hampstead to the Thames.
		Tyburn is now one of London's 'lost rivers' and is completely underground, but many years ago it crossed Regent's Park, followed Marylebone Lane, down to Piccadilly near Green Park, and into the main river near Vauxhall Bridge.
		The Tyburn tree was a huge triangular construction, the three posts were 18 feet high and the crossbeams were nine feet long - capable of hanging 24 (eight on each horizontal beam) prisoners at once.

		South of the Thames a broken amphitheatre of low hills, approaching the river near Greenwich and Woolwich on the east and Putney and Richmond on the west, encloses a tract flatter than that to the north, and rises more abruptly in the southern districts of Streatham, Norwood and Forest Hill.
		The low ground between the slight hills flanking the Thames valley, and therefore mainly south of the present river, was originally occupied by a shallow lagoon of estuarine character, tidal, and interspersed with marshy tracts and certain islets of relatively firm land.
		In 1236 the magistrates purchased the liberty to convey the waters of the Tyburn from Paddington to the City by leaden pipes, and a great conduit was erected in West Cheap in 1285.

		Before it was culverted, the river traversed London from the heights of Hampstead through Regents Park to the lower areas of Westminster, where it entered the marshy floodplain of the Thames south of Green Park.
		From Highgate, the TYBURN flowed down to a waterhead (where Stratford Place, Oxford Street is today) from which it was channelled through three and a half miles of leather pipes to Cheapside.
		From the New River Head the water was subdivided in large wooden pipes to different parts of London, and from these by smaller pipes to private houses.

		The rivers Thames and Lee have been major sources of water supply for Greater London since the early eighteenth century when the advent of steam power revolutionised both the abstraction and distribution of river-derived water.
		River abstractions account for approximately 90% of the total water supplied in Greater London principally through the abstractions and reservoir systems on the Thames and Lee operated by Thames Water.
		As the river is impounded behind weirs for navigation, levels change very little but there is increasing concern that the loss of flow volume and flow velocity may be having undesirable effects.

		The river was also likely to have been the focus for the religious or ritual life of Bronze-Age people living along its banks.
		Two such tributaries joined the main river at Vauxhall, where they would have joined with the eddies and currents of the tidal Thames – just the sort of place that Bronze-Age people might have associated with the gods or spirits of the river.
