View from Hilly Fields
The summit of Hilly Fields stands 175 feet above sea level and gives extensive views across South London and towards Kent. Here, Shooters Hill with its distinctive water tower can be seen on the horizon. In the second half of the 19th century house building was proceeding rapidly in the area. Hilly Fields was saved from development by the protests of local residents. A committee of influential people was formed, which included Octavia Hill, the co-founder of the National Trust. She recorded that when visiting tenants in Deptford one day, she noticed a vase of freshly picked flowers, and on being told they had been picked on Hilly Fields, she set off to visit the area the same day. As a result she became instrumental in raising subscriptions to save Hilly Fields from being built over. The dedication of the park to the public took place in 1896.
