London’s Hidden Rooftop Park with Skyline Views 🌳🌆

Sunny London = perfect for spontaneous city walks! 🌤️ This time, we discovered Stave Hill Ecological Park—a quiet gem with postcard-worthy skyline vistas. 🚶♀️ The Route: 1️⃣ Start at Canada Water Station 2️⃣ Follow the canal path through peaceful neighborhoods 3️⃣ Climb Stave Hill (mini but mighty!) for unexpected panoramic views of The Shard, Canary Wharf & more. (No Hampstead crowds, just pure urban beauty!) 🌿 Why We Loved It: ✔ Russia Dock Woodland nearby—picnic-ready grassy fields 🧺 ✔ Secret forest trails (the Shed @ Stave Hill area feels like a fairy glen) 🌿 ✔ Closer to the city = sharper, dramatic skyline shots 📸 🍗 Fuel Up After: Walk 20 mins to Eat Viet Bar B Grill (yes, there’s a *1* and *2*—same amazing food!). Grilled quail + icy beer + pho with crispy dough sticks = walking reward 🍜✨ 📍 Logistics: 🚇 Nearest Tube: Canada Water (Jubilee Line) 🚌 Buses: 381, C10 to Surrey Quays (then short walk) #LondonParks #SkylineHunting #WeekendVibes #CityEscape
