Belvedere is a settlement between Plumstead and Erith in southeast London. It may have been named for its views over the Thames Estuary, with reference to a belvedere.
Upper Belvedere features a fine church and some modest brick villas. Lower Belvedere is better known for a Methodist chapel, a football club and a high technology sludge incinerator, which is an unexpected landmark on the south bank of the river Thames. The railway station called Belvedere is in Lower Belvedere and serves the North Kent Line.
