It lies east of Blackheath and west of Welling, south of Woolwich and north of Eltham. With a height of 423 feet, it is one of the highest points in London. Shooter's Hill also gives its name to the A road which passes through east to west and is part of the A207 road, the A2 road, and also Watling Street. This is not to be confused with another part of the former Watling Street known as Shoot-Up Hill, which forms part of the A5 in Kilburn in the north-west of the city.

We clamb the hill the gither;
And mony a canty day, John,
