One Tree Hill allotments
On June 20, 2012, after I cycled around Blackheath and Lewisham in the afternoon, I went cycling with my son in the early evening, and, after cycling though Camberwell New Cemetery, which we have visited regularly ever since my son learned to ride his bike, because of its safety and atmosphere (and which I hope to post photos of soon), we visited One Tree Hill, originally part of the Great North Wood, a natural forest that once covered much of south east London, stretching from Croydon to Camberwell, and which is most celebrated for being the alleged site of the Honor Oak, where, on May 1, 1602, Queen Elizabeth I supposedly met and ate with Sir Richard Bulkeley of Beaumaris. On our way to the hill, we passed One Tree Hill allotments, which cover the hillside to the south of the summit of One Tree Hill and St. Augustine's Church, an Anglican church that also claims a place on the hillside.
