Crystal Palace - Westow Hill - Sydenham Hill - Forest Hill: walking the South London 'ridge' | PhilipChaston | 12/02/2022 |
I felt obliged to bag this non-hill after realising it appeared on the 'all hills in Greater London' search. Good job it's within walking distance from where I live. | Richard | 16/11/2020 |
First of four running today | lerritt | 31/10/2020 |
Cycled from Battersea. Steep hill on a bike! | Rockdoctor | 14/06/2020 |
Bus/train/train from Lauriston Road (Wimbledon) via Raynes Park and Clapham Junction. Guessed high point was up at/near transmitter which can be seen from Forest Hill station. GPS suggested it was on the corner to the NW of the mast. | jedthehumanoid | 29/06/2019 |
A little disappointing after the delights and views of the neighbouring One Tree Hill. Summit in housing with a well kept but fenced green. Fairly level summit area but I'd go for the pavement by the tree outside No.28. | RichardM | 09/03/2019 |
From Forest Hill station, early morning. Good view in clear air. Agree with others that the top seems to be at the triangular park in the shadow of the mast. | Moorponder | 11/02/2019 |
Walked from Sydenham Hill and then around looking for the HP. Back down to Forest Hill station. At least this top gives the feel of a hill. | Andrew Pearson | 08/01/2019 |
Another excellent London road. 37km run from Madia Vale over the 'mountain ridge' of South London. Accompanied by bike by trimarc2 | Fionalevey | 14/09/2018 |
Hp seems to be the large mature tree growing out of the pavement. Fine views west from the road junction to the south. | Campbell Singer | 05/08/2018 |
Train from Victoria to Gypsy Hill then walked to Crystal Palace, Westow Hill, Sydenham Hill and Forest Hill before taking the train back from Forest Hill. | clivevilla | 04/08/2018 |

Walked up from Honor Oak railway station via One Tree Hill (good view) to the fenced triangular green on the summit. Continued to the Horniman Museum, Dulwich Park, Dulwich Art Gallery, Belair Park and finishing at West Dulwich Railway Station. Solo. | Man of Kernow1 | 16/05/2018 |
Travelcard Tump from Shooters Hill- bus to Lewisham then trains/walk through New Cross to Forest Hill sta. Pleasant walk from sta., up via David's Rd, back via Horniman Gardens | pwheeler | 17/04/2018 |
Late evening saunter from Forest Hill station. Uphill through quiet streets, guided by the lights on a mast near the summit. The high point seems to be a tree in the pavement of Liphook Crescent, opposite the triangular mini-park. | Nick Down1 | 05/03/2018 |
Walked from Crystal Palace TuMP with elevenses stop at the cafe at the excellent & free Horniman Museum, which is far more interesting than the top itself. Obvious high point along pavement near road junction. Opportunist bagging whilst staying in London for a few days to attend a Witness Familiarisation Course, or learning how to survive being cross-examined in court. 29 years of marriage good relevant experience too! | Hillsidenick | 08/01/2018 |
On run from hotel in Holburn while on training course. Easy to find summit on road. | stever | 04/12/2017 |
Good views round the corner of Ringmore Rise | squeegs | 31/03/2017 |
Day out on the Tube doing a circuit of the Tumps. Out and back from Overground Station. | rhalstead | 25/02/2017 |
I'm glad I live in Scotland. These English hills are just so difficult. Finding the exact top is like being blindfolded and trying to stick the tail on a donkey in a spin dryer. | chrisbien | 25/02/2017 |
Parked by triangular grassed area and had a wander around and down road to tree to south. | PeterD | 25/11/2016 |
The last of 4 tops visited today. A brief detour from the Green Chain Walk, coming out of the Horniman Museum gate,uphill and first on the left and on for a 100 metres. Lunch in the Horniman was excellent. | Sixtyplus | 15/08/2016 |
Walked up from Honor Oak Park Station. Highest point is the triangular area of green or the road to the East. No view due to the houses but if you walk down to the west and into the Museum Gardens a wonderful view to the North of London opens up. | Swindon Bagger | 08/08/2016 |
Parked on Liphook Crescent. HP by triangular fenced-off grassed area bounded by Liphook Cresc and Horniman Drive. | jonglew | 20/07/2016 |
1 of 2 HUMPS and 2 London Borough tops | RocksRock | 30/04/2016 |
From Forest Hill Overground station. At least you have to walk uphill. | destaylor | 15/01/2016 |
Close to Penge which means clearing in a forest. A tiny garden size triangle of tress exists on the summit surrounded by houses. 1 hr evening road walk by streetlight form Crystal Palace | Chris Pearson | 17/12/2015 |
Walked up this from Forest Hill Station on a horrible day of heavy showers then went to do Sydenham Hill directly afterwards. | Dragonzilla | 13/09/2015 |
Crystal Palace station - Crystal Palace - Westow Hill - Sydenham Hill - Forest Hill - Forest Hill station. | Mark Jackson | 20/08/2015 |
Liphook Cres W footway at Horniman Drive jct. This completes the Greater London P30 summits for me - not the most interesting choice of completion hill! | RHW | 15/02/2015 |
Came in from Forest Hill Station after a day's course in London. Walked up here despite being close to it on many occasions. | steverd | 14/10/2014 |
Honor Oak Park to Forest Hill. Interesting views of the suburbs from the surrounding roads. | Smudge | 22/12/2013 |
Date unknown. Residential street of semis with views across to central London. | Adrian | 01/01/2000 |
Sometime in 1998... | NotReallyABagger | blank |
