I think that both are actual projects. I seem to recall reading
recently that Boris wants to write exhuming rivers into the London
Plan, when the Plan gets revised over the next couple of years to
de-Ken-ise it. I seem to recall that the Wandle is beginning to
re-emerge.
The New River already has been made more accessible, I think,
although I don't explore where it goes often enough to know details.
I'm not sure where the river stops being functional now that the Ring
Main is in business
