Friends of the Coves Subwatershed Inc

The Coves Sub-watershed is a 710-hectare area in South west London. It is just one of many sub-watersheds that make up the greater Thames River Watershed.
Within the Coves Sub-watershed, all of the water that falls to the ground, as precipitation or otherwise, drains to the Coves lowlands where natural ravines, ponds, wetlands and floodplains are found.

The Coves lowlands and adjacent upland woods are designated as the Coves Environmentally Significant Area (ESA) by the City of London for the high diversity of reptiles, amphibians, birds and plant species found there. The Coves lowlands also make up the most distinct oxbow formation within the City of London.
