The “River Lea” is a real river that flows through the north and east of Adele’s childhood city of London. It also has a section named the River Lea Navigation, which is canalised.
In an interview with NPR, Adele discussed how the river is connected with her life.
"A lot of my life was spent walking alongside the River Lea to go and get to somewhere else. It linked quite a lot of estates to each other, so that’s how you’d meet up with your friends. The idea of the song is that, especially since I’ve become a parent, let alone writing this record, I’m dealing with myself for the first time. And I have a lot of bad habits. And rather than admitting that I have bad traits in my actual character, I blame it on where I’m from."
