I take a look around Keston Common & ponds in the London Borough of Bromley. The Common forms a interesting area for plants & wildlife....A  series of ponds, damp meadows & woodland have been conserved from the days the common formed part of the Holwood Estate, once owned by the 19th century Prime Minister, William Pitt, the younger. 
William Wilberforce, the British politician and leader of the movement to abolish the slave trade, was a frequent visitor.
The River Ravensbourne, a tributary of the River Thames has its source here ,near Caesar's Camp.
I have known the area all my life & was born in the house that finishes the movie.  I was also christened in the delightful parish church. .
