Forming part of the Lee Valley Reservoir Chain that supplies drinking water to London,
the historic Walthamstow Reservoir complex (constructed on marshland in the
mid-19th century by the East London Waterworks Company) offers otherworldly location
opportunities for film and TV productions. As well as acres of green space and wetlands
located close to London, the site has empty underground reservoirs that are both visually
striking and practical; the pictured space has four avenues of rounded bricks, with three
access points up vertical ladders. The site is owned and operated by Thames Water.
