Visited London to witness the Queen leaving Buckingham Palace and lying in state at Westminster hall. This was an early diversion before heading to the mall.Buck14/06/2022
Walked from City Thameslink. It's really nothing to see, but it's an interesting walk through Holborn.hillbagger9113/12/2021
Detour between King's Cross and the British Museum.welshyboyo14/11/2021
Did this county top on the same day as Greater London and Kent and you know what, despite it by far being the lowest county top in the British Isles, and being in a very busy every of the Country in central London, I respect that this one actually has a Ordnance Survey Point as well next too a City of London stand. It has a little metallic circle with a direction pointing North at the Summit. Other then that though, you couldn't do a County Top any easier then literally a 2 minute walk from Chancery Lane to the Summit.DavidHiner07/09/2021

Cycling the London Borough Tops and doing them in ascending height order, but somehow neglected to include the City of London. That's corrected now as I did it this morning on my way to Greenwich.pclyndes30/05/2020

Climbed up the steps in Holborn Station from the lowest platform just to get a sense of altitude gain. Oxygen tanks and crampons not needed.summitter28/06/2017
Route: WG – Strand – Chancery Lane – Bank – Commercial Road – Aldgate East. Approx. Stats: 1hr30, 7.8km, 44m ascent. Weather: warm but cloudy. Notes: all pavement, so hard on feet; end a bit grim.millionmts22/06/2017
Up from the Embankment before some middle of the road high point antics and a burrito on expenses. Making work pay.campagvelocet07/03/2017
Parked on Southampton Buildings and took a stroll up to High Holborn and along to where the HP is supposed to be. All quite flat though so nothing to pinpoint with any degree of certainty. Been to several of these spots in the past, but thought to re-visit all the borough tops for the HB logs.jonglew06/02/2017
Not a lot to say really. A pleasant walk to St Paul's underground station via Hoborn Viaduct on the way to Whitechapel and Bethnal GreenSixtyplus28/10/2016

I'd walked across this pavement summit several times whilst working in London, without realising it was a high point. How strange to revisit it now in a stolen moment of a day trip from Scotland to London for work.Nick Down107/07/2016

Fenchurch Street to Tottenham Ct Rd. Walk to a regular Sunday evening pub via nearby site of my father's old bookshop in Cursitor Street (now part of a restaurant).Smudge06/03/2016
A slight detour from St Paul's & we bagged the top. We went into the Cotswold Outdoor which is sited there - but they had no idea of the 'mountaineering' significance of the spot...DanMaisieBex19/02/2016

Suggest you do this one from Chancery Lane tube station, then you at least you walk slightly uphill to it. Unfortunately I approached from Holborn tube so walked downhill to it and just confirmed that I had been there a few times before, many years ago.PeterD01/12/2015
'Backpacked' here in the dark from Holborn tube. Took 3 goes to set off down the correct road after surfacing. Had a couple of hours spare before the overnight coach north from Victoria to Carlisle to meet Darren then the OMM at Tweedsmuir the next day -hence the large pack.Chris Pearson23/10/2015
