The ridge on which Plumstead Common lies provides fine views northwards across the Thames. This part of Plumstead Common is actually known as Winns Common and all the roads leading down from here to lower Plumstead are very steep. The road ahead is appropriately called Viewland Road and to the right, out of sight, is Heath Villas, giving another clue about the history of the Common.
