Shooter's Hill è un quartiere nel sud est di Londra. Con un'altezza di 132 metri, è il punto più alto del distretto di Greenwich e uno dei punti più alti di Londra (e con la vista migliore!). Ci sono molte associazioni letterarie con questo posto. Il racconto di “le due città” di Charles Dickens si apre con Jarvis Lorry, passeggero della carrozza della posta di Dover, che "attraversa Shooter's Hill". Il nome Shooter's Hill è menzionato anche in Dracula di Bram Stoker e in "La guerra dei mondi" di H.G. Wells. Nel romanzo grafico V for Vendetta, il personaggio Evey Hammond descrive la sua infanzia trascorsa in Shooter's Hill.
