It was a beautiful summer's day. The breeze was... Stupendous. Like Chris Eubank I almost wanted to dance but he was unavailable to show me how
My morning walk through One Tree Hill Park soundtracked by Paul Simon's classic Graceland album really set me up for a day at the home desk this fine monday morning in August.
The park is named for the 'one tree' present which is in fact the Honor oak which gives name to the nearby transit hub and residential area. The Honor oak present today was planted in tribute to one which stood in this place in the Tudor era and saw Elizabeth I grace the ground which sat under it for a regal picnic. To my knowledge Elizabeth II did not grace the replacement tree with the same treatment but I am open to being proved wrong on this!
There is a fantastic view of the London skyline which entertainingly no longer accords with the sign which was placed to detail what should be viewable from this point. The trees directly in front of this viewpoint also obscure some of this fine view with their foliage. Although they're not meaning to do this I would appreciate if the council would trim them back, as it sort of nullifies the efficacy of the viewpoint. Sort it out Lewisham council!!
Nice for a walk most times of day, there may be people partaking in potentially unsavoury behaviour here in evenings, only bring hardy and worldly children at these times if you...

A nice tranquil spot in the middle of se23, you really wouldn't know how close you are to the centre of London, with great views from the top, perfect for walks, or picnics in warmer weather. The only downside is, the famous view from the top of the hill ( one of the best views in london) of the city and parts of the West end, is gradually disappearing due to the growth of unmanaged, self-seeded trees. Only a few years back, the view to the west extended as far as vauxhall bridge, this is now completely obscured, and getting smaller every year. It would be a great shame if this london viewpoint lost its unique vista's due to a lack of simple tree management. It would be really good if friends of one tree Hill and Southwark Council could get together and remedy this, after all, if the view disappears, it takes away a big part of this...

A Nature Conservation area comprising mostly secondary woodland, scrub, a few scattered glades and veteran boundary oaks. Set on a steep incline with the commanding summit offering acclaimed views towards central London. The lone ”Honor Oak”, steeped in local legend and apocryphal anecdotes is located near the summit and acknowledged to be the third one planted here in 1905. Minor desultory diversions and remnants perhaps only of passing interest settled on the summit. The natural surroundings here ideal for a quiet reverie and meandering. The steep terrain and often muddy conditions possibly challenging for the more sedentary. Approach emptied of expectations, submit to the...
