Description
English: London and the River Thames from One Tree Hill, Greenwich Park

A view of London and the River Thames from One Tree Hill in about 1690, during the reign of William and Mary. It reveals how Greenwich looked in the late 17th century and shows the façade of Flamsteed House. At the bottom of the hill are the Queen's House, with the great parterre, and the remains of Henry VIII's Palace of Placentia. This was a popular vantage point for artists in the 17th and 18th centuries. Only one block of the new Greenwich palace has been built. On the river are some of the royal yachts that were stationed at Greenwich to take important people to the Continent. The artist has placed a large number of people in the painting together with deer visible in the deer park in the foreground. In the background is a building which may be the artist’s impression of what the new St Paul’s dome would look like. This is one of a number of versions of this view.
