Maryon Wilson Park, Charlton

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 partly wooded it is rather more peaceful nowadays. The path ahead is followed by the Green Chain Walk and Capital Ring.
