Dawson Heights

Dawson Heights is a residential spot in south-east London with a blocky, Minecraft-like look and a high vantage point that offers a great view out across the city.

The story

Dawson Heights sits in London's SE22 postcode, and its appearance is distinctive enough to draw comparisons with Minecraft, the computer game built from blocks. The height itself is the real draw: from the top there is a great view out across London, making it a natural spot for photographing the city. Day to day, it is a place where people live, and the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful rather than busy. There is also a community centre here, run by volunteers, that offers help to people in the area.
