Good size park with a range of features in a city centre location. Elevated spots give good views towards Canary Wharf or the city. Very bucolic feeling for a park set within such a built up area.
Like many people , I've been up quite a few of London's well known viewpoints but Stave Hill is probably little known except by the locals. This artificial viewpoint rises like a miniature Silbury Hill set on the Rotherhithe Peninsula . Although only a pimple in comparison to The Shard etc. the stairs lead you up to a circular platform commanding a 360 degrees View of London. In the centre is a cast metal plaque showing a map of Surrey Commercial Docks , the site now being housing & divided by Russia Dock Woodland & Stave Hill Ecological Park. Absolutely worth a visit.
Oh my god, I did not know one can get nature and peace together while being surrounded by architecturally reach surrounding
Great little area which is attached to the ecological park. It has great views from Canary Wharf as well as back to The City. Sometimes people using the stairs to exercise can overtake things. It’s great to sit up on top of the hill on a lovely summer’s day.
Next to, or part of Russia Dock Park, the Ecological Park has paths to explore, and the Stave Hill part gives wonderful views across the skyscrapers of London At the top of the hill is a bronze work, showing the docks as they were in 1899. Very pleasant place, especially on a warm afternoon like today
Beautiful views love the juxtaposition of nature and the city around. Great facts of history and plants throughout the park.
Great park near the Thames. Fantastic view from the top of the hill. You can see the shard, Canary Wharf, the gherkin building. Nice walk through the ecological park. There is a open area that you can have picnic and a few things like climbing frames, swings that the children can play. There is free parking nearby. We had a nice time here.
Stave Hill is probably one of the most amazing view points in Rotherhithe, yet is only known by locals. Just a few stairs and you will raise above all trees within the surrounding area, with 360 views to all London, highlighting City of London and Canary Wharf.
I have many memories of visiting Stave Hill especially with my dearly departed Yorkshire terrier Ben. Bless him.
