The Bowes Park New River Tunnel Festival...

...was held on Saturday 13th June and was a fantastic day enjoyed by many. This Celebration marked the 150th anniversary of the time when Thames Water sent the New River ‘underground’. The New River is neither new nor a river but a 400-year-old man-made waterway between Ware in Hertfordshire and Canonbury, over 30 miles in total. It used to play a prominent role in assuring a water supply to London and (maintained by Thames Water) still makes a contribution to the capital’s water supply.

The Festival was held at two venues Finsbury Gardens  and the Community Garden in Myddleton Road. The weather was glorious for the BPCA 150th Anniversary Celebration on June 13th 2009, which meant that everyone had fun fun fun in the sun sun sun. Click here  for more, including many photos.

BPCA is the association for those who want to improve where we live and work in this part of north London. To see a street map of our area and find out exactly where we are in London then simply click here.

Crime Prevention

Bowes Park is a pleasant and lovely place to live but like many areas, we do suffer occasionally from criminal activity. In this vein, our Association offers advice and news about problems in our area, much of which we are mediating on behalf of the Metropolitan Police and, not least, our Safer Neighbourhoods Teams. Please have a look at our Crime Page and keep safe. You can go to this information by clicking here or on the logo on the right-hand side of this message, or at anytime by clicking "Crime" on the left-hand menu.
