Addington Viewing Platform was erected by the local authority in order to make a centrepiece of one of the most breathtaking views in London. Although Addington is located to the south of Croydon on the Surrey borders on a clear day this lofted viewing platform at the head of Ballards Plantation affords views of most of London as far as Canary Wharf and Docklands in the east and the new Wembley arch in the north.
