The name of this block presumably derives from the fact that from its upper floors one could probably see Greenwich town. In fact it is located several kilometres away on the edge of Hornfair Park. The block was originally military accommodation (nearby Woolwich was home to the Royal Artillery until 2007). Its military origin may also explain the large number of aerials on top.
