The Woodland Walk is a narrow strip of woodland, most of which is considered to be ancient in origin. When the Downham Estate was built by the LCC between 1924 and 1930, the existing woodland strip from Whitefoot Terrace to Bromley Road was retained to become the Woodland Walk, a pleasant green trail through the estate. For the time, this was quite an imaginative move. The Woodland Walk zigzags between the houses of Downham and is now followed by both the Green Chain Walk and the Capital Ring. This view is towards the Bromley Road end of the Walk.
