Stave Hill is a park in the London Borough of Southwark, in the area of Rotherhithe and close to Canada Water. Much of the park is what used to be the Stave Dock of the Surrey Commercial Docks, which was filled in and then redeveloped by the London Docklands Development Corporation. Much of the park is now an ecological park, meaning that it is a nature reserve close to the centre of London.

In the park is also an artificial small hill, from which the park takes its name. On top of the hill is a viewing platform from which you have an amazing view over the City of London, Greenwich, South London as well as Canary Wharf.
