<p>The Brent is one of London's principal rivers, and gave the London Borough
of Brent its name, when the boroughs of Wembley and Willesden merged in the
1970s. Formed by the confluence of Silk Stream and Dollis Brook now in the <a href="Welsh%20Harp.htm">Brent
Reservoir</a>, it continues its way through Neasden, past the junction of Harrow
Road and North Circular Road, and then runs behind factories on the north side
of North Circular Road until it reaches the Grand Union Canal Aqueduct. After
running parallel to Queensbury Road, the Brent passes the impressive four-arch
brick viaduct carrying the Piccadilly Line Underground and, after the crossing
by Ealing Road, it is lost in the industrial estate which occupies the site
of the old Wembley sewage works. Just before the imposing Great Western Railway
viaduct, the Brent leaves Wembley to start its long winding course to the Thames
at Brentford.</p>
