It covers most of the top of Shooters Hill (in the London Borough of Greenwich), and contains a folly called Severndroog Castle . There is an underground water Reservoir in the grassed area called Oxleas Meadow. This serves the local area with water. This is associated with 'the hut' which is a building containing the equipment that Thames Water uses to control the reservoir. There is also a cafe at the top of the hill in the same area. There have been plans to build roads through Oxleas leading to a Thames Gateway Bridge over the River Thames as part of the Thames Gateway redevelopment plans. These plans were abandoned in 1993 after strong local protests. The proposal for the Thames Gateway bridge have recently been revived and there is concern that, if built, this would lead to pressure to link it to the A2 , crossing Oxleas. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
