The River Wandle in south London has been affected by thousands of litres of oil leaking into the environment.
An oil spill of approximately 4,000 liters has polluted the River Wandle, a rare chalk stream in London, after leaking from a storage tank at a nearby bus depot. The Environment Agency is working with other agencies to contain the spill and assess its impact, while the National Trust is monitoring the effects on wildlife and habitats in the area. The spill is expected to affect the river from Beddington to Wandsworth over the coming days.
