Found it after a good search  :) .  I do enjoy these map GTPs - gives my brain a bit of exercise.

I'll hold for now as I've only just entered a GTP.

OK, time for a hint.  That blue at the bottom is navigable water.

As promised.

Location of John's Camera:
  • Nat Grid:                  TQ 53703 75649
  • Co-ords (WGS84):   51°27'32"N,000°12'40"E or 51.458955,0.211013

I'm sorry but getting out and about is still a problem, and I expect it to be so for at least another month, so we're back to maps.  Where's this?  Plenty of hints, I could have hidden much more if I was feeling rotten.  :)

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

That's close enough MartinR.  It's taken from a bridge on University Way.  The Cray confluence is just out of sight joining from the left.  The Kent and Greater London Boundary runs along the Cray and then along the Darent, so my GTP was only just within Kent.

Over to you ...

Out on the Swanscombe Marshes somewhere?

Still need to go a bit further west.  Most of the area in the photo is in Kent.

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?
