This is the view from the driveway leading up to the flats known as Dawson's Heights. The parkland on the other side of the flats has one of the finest views in London - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2635879. This is the south-facing side looking down to Overhill Road and beyond to Sydenham Hill Woods and Dulwich Woods. The Crystal Place TV Transmitter can be seen on the horizon above the house. The estate at Dawson’s Heights was constructed between 1968 and 1972 and cost in total a little over £1.6 million to build.
