Russia Dock Woodland won a prestigous Green Flag award in 2011. Following the closure of the Rotherhithe docks in the 1970s, Russia Docks Woodland was created when the former Russia Dock was filled and planted as grass woodland with a series of water channels and ponds providing habitats for kingfishers, herons and other birds. Original dock features remain, including the retaining wall capstones and mooring chains. Stave Hill to the west edge of the park was built using waste material and rubble. to form a high viewpoint with amazing views of Canary Wharf and The City of London. A bronze relief map on top of Stave Hill shows that almost all of old Rotherhithe was made up of docks, wharves and warehouses.

In 1968 this was a flat maze of water filled docks … a wasteland! Today nature has been enabled!
