Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
London Rivers Restoration: an interactive map
Did you know London has 400 miles (about 640km) of waterways – from rivers to wetlands, streams and canals?
That’s the same distance as from Brighton to Edinburgh.
Since 2000, about 28 miles (45km) has been restored.
An interactive map, published as part of last week's London Rivers Week, shows where both the completed projects are and the much larger group of aspirational projects which include quite a few in the very watery borough of Haringey

That's true but I don't think this map is about creating swimming spots. It's more to do with habitat restoration and creating cool spots in the city that can help with climate change. The knock on effect for us humans are spaces that will improve mental health as blue space has been shown to help with mood, help with flooding issues and pollution and the chance to see a wider range of wildlife return to the capital. Swimming isn't really the point of this and I think sticking to lidos, and designated swimming spots is probably safer and wiser.
