Maryon Park, Urban park in Charlton, United Kingdom.
Located south of the Thames Barrier, Maryon Park extends across steep slopes with serpentine paths winding through grassland containing hawkweed, gorse, and broom.
The London County Council received this former sandpit area from the Maryon-Wilson family in 1891, transforming it from what was previously known as Hanging Wood.
The park gained international recognition when director Michelangelo Antonioni selected its grounds as a primary filming location for his 1966 film Blowup.
Visitors can access multiple recreational facilities including tennis courts, a basketball court, and a children's playground, while following the Capital Ring and Green Chain trails.
Cox's Mount within the park served as a Roman hill fort and later in the 1850s helped ships on the River Thames calibrate their navigation compasses.
