At the top of One Tree Hill is the titular Oak of Honor which, apocryphal story has it, was accidentally knighted by Queen Elizabeth I after she got drunk on the journey south of the river to knight some man.

There's also the remains of this World War One gun emplacement. Because of its view to the Thames, One Tree Hill was also used as a semaphore hill.

It's worth noting that all this is in Zone 3 of London. London, as ever, is greener and more pleasant than people give it credit for.
