SECRET NUNHEAD - LONDON SKYLINE

This place isn’t so much secret, at least not to the local people who live around about. But it is a strange place and without some directing you, you may not know it is there. Brockley Footpath is a public footpath just of Linden Grove in Nunhead.  It runs down the side of Nunhead Cemetery.

THE SIGHT THAT FIRST GREETS YOU, AS I SAID THE X FILES COMES TO MIND

A short walk up the path and you will come a across a conveniently cut hole in the metal fence. There are a couple of these holes along the path. Step through the fence and you are confronted by a very steep hill. At the top, are these strange looking bunker type structures. A short climb to the top and you arrive on the top of the first of two grass covered flat surfaces. It reminds you of a place you might find in an episode of the X Files, a secret bunker or warehouse were the government conduct secret experiments and store non humans. But back to the real world, in fact they are some sort of water storage tanks.

THE 87 STEPS THAT LEAD TO THE SUMMIT

STRANGE METAL OBJECTS, THAT WOULD GRACE ANY MODERN ART GALLERY

Continue on your walk up the hill and you will see some 80 or so steps, which lead to the second and highest grass platform. Once there admire the amazing views across London. A good time to go is in the evening as the sun begins to set.

The only drawback of this place, no cleaner has been there for a very long time. So the area is covered in broken bottles, empty cans and a lot of litter. But don’t let this put you off. Just look at the amazing views you will find.
