River Darent upstream of the River Cray confluence? Not found the site, but I'm running out of Kent and waterways.

Out on the Swanscombe Marshes somewhere?
Still need to go a bit further west. Most of the area in the photo is in Kent.

Found it earlier, but will hold fire for now as a bit busy, only having a tea break

Not the Thames and Medway Canal. Head further west.
Clue: A line of six-arm pylons crosses in front of the camera position. Cables are out of sight above the camera line of view.

Long shot, but is it a silted up part of the Thames & Medway Canal?

FYI, while I'm thinking, the two halves of the Yantlet used to be joined and formed a navigable creek between the Medway and the Thames. It cut off the Isle of Grain from the Hoo Peninsular, thus making Grain a true island. The northern mouth of the Yantlet is marked by the London Stone. A line from there to near Southend-on-Sea marks the limit of London's control of the Thames. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yantlet
for more details.

Yantlett?
Not Yantlett. Never heard of that before, so had to look it up. Something else I've learnt.
In the correct general area of Kent though.
