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

This is the site of the original oak tree from which the area Honor Oak gets its name, where Elizabeth I once apparently picnicked in 1602. The tree within the fencing is not that original tree, which was apparently itself struck by lightning in 1888, but one planted on when the park was formally opened to the public, in 1905.

Artificial mound built in the mid-1980s when the area was redeveloped. Incredible views all around London, and the surrounding ecological park provides a natural escape with the chance to see birds including herons, woodpeckers, and kingfishers.

Great urban nature trail. Perfect to break up a walk and good for kids too with numbered sections along the trail. Rare location for wild garlic in London.

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.

Established as a memorial to the men and women from Guy's hospital who died in the first and second world wars this oasis of greenery was redesigned in 1992. It provides a quiet spot for a picnic near London Bridge
