Honor Oak Park, SE23

Honor Oak is an inner suburban area principally of the London Borough of Lewisham, with part in the Southwark. The name originates from Oak of Honor Hill, or One Tree Hill. On 1 May 1602, Elizabeth I picnicked with Richard Bulkeley of Beaumaris in the Lewisham area by an oak tree at the summit of a hill. The tree came to be known as the Oak of Honor.
In 1896 the open space was due to become part of a golf club, but there were riots and demonstrations by local people. This fell through, and later it was bought by Metropolitan Borough of Camberwell and made into a public open space by 1905.
Beneath one part of the open space that did become a golf club lies a cavernous underground reservoir constructed in Victorian times.
The original oak has been replaced by another in around 1905. Other landmarks on the hill are a World War I gun emplacement and a beacon commemorating the fourth centenary of the defeat of the Spanish Armada.
Between 1809 and 1836, there ran a canal through Honor Oak which ran from New Cross to Croydon, also via Forest Hill and Sydenham. The canal was replaced by the railway after 1836, and forms part of the current line between London Bridge and Croydon. Honor Oak Park railway station opened in 1886.
