Little Heath, LONDON, SE7 8HU

The B210, seen from opposite the junction with Cemetery Lane. Ah, a 53 - I should probably try and catch the next one of those.

The Green Chain Walk climbs steadily from the Thames through Maryon Park and then Maryon Wilson Park to reach the exit opposite Cemetery Lane. This view looks up the last part of the park to where a bus waits at the stop in Littleheath.

The land now taken up by Maryon Wilson Park was once part of the Hanging Wood which originally stretched from Woolwich Common to Charlton and which provided shelter for the highwaymen of Shooters Hill and Blackheath. Samuel Pepys often told of his dread of Hanging Wood when he was obliged to travel to Woolwich. Although still woodland it is rather more peaceful nowadays. The path followed by the Green Chain Walk and Capital Ring climbs steadily from the Thames through Maryon Park and then Maryon Wilson Park to reach the exit opposite Cemetery Lane. This view looks down the hill from that entrance.
