Gallions Hill is a sixty feet high landmark created from “recycled excavated material”. A spiral path leads to the summit which provides widespread views up and down the Thames. To the south the views are only as far as the ridge between Shooters Hill, Plumstead Common, Bostall Heath and Lesnes Abbey Woods.
This view looks over a newly-created park with the River Thames just beyond and the Barking Creek Barrier towards the right on the horizon. As can be seen, a number of other, slightly smaller, hills have been created in the park.
