A London walk in search of the course of the Channelsea River in Stratford which mysteriously disappears. This beguiling London river walk explores where the river may have ran beneath the streets of East London and Westfield Shopping Centre and look for signs of its re-emergence on the London Olympic Park. With Professor Kate Spencer.
