The Hill > Telegraph Hill Park

 

Telegraph Hill Park features a playground, dog-free zone, tennis courts and grassed areas. It is in two sections, with the upper park offering magnificent views over London, and takes its name from the semaphore telegraph, which was placed on the summit, some 160 feet above sea level, by the Admiralty Board. The news of the victory of the Battle of Waterloo was passed to London via this station.

For information about the parks and events programme, please contact Glendales Ground Management on 020 8318 3986.
