But not many trees, either in the street or on the hill.
I like One Tree Hill, but I'm not sure whether so many trees, bushes, and brambles should have been allowed to grow. They weren't there 100-200 years ago, and they break up the view over London.

I'm told that 20 years ago you could go sledging on One Tree Hill. Today that would be impossible as the slopes are covered by vegetation rather than snow.

I suspect the World War One gun emplacement would be totally useless now because of all the trees (and the lack of attacking zeppelins in the skies above London).
