The Darent Catchment falls mainly within Kent, but includes some of the suburbs of South East London and parts of Surrey. Popular with the public, who enjoy picnics along its banks, the River Darent is 59km long and begins its journey to the sea near Westerham in Kent, 251 metres above sea level. It flows in an easterly direction to Otford, where it is joined by Honeypot Stream, a major tributary flowing from east to west.
