[Talk-gb-london] Possible London mapping task - rivers and streams

I've been playing around with some renders of OSM data in London for a little personal art project. It has thrown up obvious gaps in the data, for example all the roads come out as convincingly complete (enough for my purposes, anyway), whilst landuse areas fall very short indeed. How about waterw
