The road was constructed between 1967 and 1973 and runs from Hackney Wick in north-east London, through the Blackwall Tunnel, to Kidbrooke in south-east London.

Bostall Heath and Woods is an area of 159.1 hectares of woodland with areas of heathland located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich ward of Abbey Wood and adjacent to Lesnes Abbey Woods. The area to the south of the A206 is Bostall Woods and to the north is Bostall Heath. The wood is owned and maintained by the Royal Borough of Greenwich, with the exception of the Cooperative Woods, in the north east corner of the site which in 1978 was gifted to the newly formed Bexley and Greenwich Community Hospice by the local community owned Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society founded and based at that time just a short journey away serving locals and workers at the royal arsenal. Unlike Woodlands Farm, a community inner city farm which preserve ancient woodlands and rolling Kent field, the land at Bostall is no longer owned by the consumer owned the co-operative group co-op based in Manchester. The farm and a few residual tracts of ornamental verges between the homes and streets built below bostall woods and named by that society over a century ago remain the last historically significant landholdings of what had been one of Kent's largest and longest lasting employers. The woods, community housing, parks and amenities remain as a lasting investment in the Bostall Woods, and Abbey Woods community of Abbey wood, South London.
