Not the Thames and Medway Canal.        Head further west.

Clue: A line of six-arm pylons crosses in front of the camera position.  Cables are out of sight above the camera line of view.

Long shot, but is it a silted up part of the Thames & Medway Canal?

FYI, while I'm thinking, the two halves of the Yantlet used to be joined and formed a navigable creek between the Medway and the Thames.  It cut off the Isle of Grain from the Hoo Peninsular, thus making Grain a true island.  The northern mouth of the Yantlet is marked by the London Stone.  A line from there to near Southend-on-Sea  marks the limit of London's control of the Thames.  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yantlet for more details.

Yantlett?

Not Yantlett.  Never heard of that before, so had to look it up.  Something else I've learnt.

In the correct general area of Kent though.

Right, here we go again.

Where was this view taken from and what is the name of the waterway?
