Hippersley Point is named for Sir John Hippersley (C17th) who salvaged building material from the nearby Lesnes Abbey before selling the abbey on in 1632. Hippersley Point is situated in Tilston Bright Square which is named for Sir Charles Tilston Bright (1832–1888) who was a British electrical engineer who oversaw the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable in 1858. Abbey Wood is split between the London boroughs of Bexley and Greenwich. This part of Abbey Wood is in Greenwich.
