This is a local secret that’s not publicized, went here a couple of month's ago, offers sweeping views of London and there were literally zero people, when I was there for the sunset. Definitely goes into my book as one of the best places in London for a sunset.

A wonderful and unique view across London nestled within a equally unique community in the heart of South East London. Windy, green and charming. A community park, a place of celebration, parties or dog walks. The air always tastes good on Blythe Hill, and that's reason enough to go.

There are so many green parrots resting on a low tree, eating the fruits or the seeds, they made very loud chewing sounds , o found them quite cute, feeling so close to a bit of wild life in London, this place always make me feel surreal, it's like looking at centre from another world.

Great outdoor space for dog walking. Jogging and exercise. Picnic benches and plenty of seating areas. Safe children's play area. Closed off with its own gate from the main field. Drinking fountain in working condition. Brilliant veiws of London from the top of Blyrhe Hill on a clear day.

We went to watch the Brockalites band playing Reggae Ska music at the Blythe Hill Fields in Lewisham yesterday. Lots of food stalls, handicrafts stalls and one separate section for kids entertainment too. Live music was very good too! Everyone enjoyed the event. Beautiful skyline of London specially Docklands from the park.
