Lippitts Hill is a hill located south-west of High Beach. The memorial is situated inside the Metropolitan Police Cadet Training Centre. Access to the site is through Lippitts Hill Road, then taking the east junction after reaching the "The Owl" pub.
The hill was the site of a gun emplacement in the First World War and was used as an anti-aircraft site in the Second World War. The United States's 184th anti-aircraft artillery installed their own guns in 1941, and added an underground control room and block houses to the site. A prisoner of war camp was established at Lippitts Hill by the British after the camp was abandoned by the Americans in 1944.
