High Maynard Reservoir, Water reservoir in Walthamstow, United Kingdom.

High Maynard Reservoir spans across the Lee Valley with a depth of 5.8 meters and holds 0.68 gigaliters of water for London's supply system.

The East London Waterworks Company constructed High Maynard Reservoir in 1870 as part of expanding water infrastructure on former Walthamstow marshlands.

The reservoir forms part of Walthamstow Wetlands, where visitors observe various bird species and participate in nature-focused educational programs.
