| From Chadwell Heath station (Elizabeth Line): Mark's Gate, Havering Atte Bower Church, Havering Atte Bower farm and Cabin Hill. Went through 3 parks, Havering Forest, Bedfords Park and Hainault on local parts of the London loop. Surprisingly quiet, open countryside on a lovely spring day. | Lazylizzie | 17/03/2024 |

| 11 of 13. From Hainault station on the Central line and used bus route 247 to Marks gate, walking Eight and quarter mile to reach Marks gate, Havering Atte Bower farm and Cabin hill returning to Hainault station with the 247 bus. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 06/08/2023 |
| High point seemed to be a mound on the west side of the road, seemingly higher according to GPS than the NE corner of the cemetary | Vulcan | 06/07/2023 |
| 2 of 6 startin on 26 mile bike ride starting on kavanaghs road in Brentwood. Others have mentioned roadside but north part of cemetery is higher | The-Z-Man | 18/12/2022 |
| Visited the cemetery, the main road and bank to the West of the main road, and had a wander round the residential roads within the 40m contour line. Also visited the Warren Stone area. There seemed to be a small 45m contour line to the East of the McDonalds drive through which turned out to be a mound covered in stinging nettles. Not pleasant but managed to make my way to the top of that as well. With this, London borough tops are now complete! | lerritt | 20/11/2022 |

| Main road by cemetery. | CreakingHiker | 05/11/2019 |
| Walked along Whalebone lane from McDonalds Top was a bit obscure so we walked around the area on the grassy opening. | ChinnockC | 04/10/2019 |
| Just off road on W side for me: little clearing with short grass, surrounded by bushes. | Aye Jimmy | 08/09/2019 |
| An evening walk from the bus stop at Whalebone North, along the west side of the A1112, the grassy bank between that road and Kingston Hill Avenue and as far as two gates barring access to the ground around the Warren Stone. The grassy bank between the A road and Kingston Hill Avenue seems highest and is adjacent to and above the brow of the A1112. | Nick Down1 | 21/03/2019 |

| An add on after Cabin Hill and Lambourne Hill. Not a lot to say. Not the most exciting of tops. Again difficult to pinpoint. | Sixtyplus | 09/10/2018 |

| Deadly dull.. Road quiet at 06.15 on a Sunday morning although the car booters were massing a kilometre to the north. | Campbell Singer | 05/08/2018 |

| Traffic jams in both directions. walked to a few of potential HPs, favoured mound just to west of road in a path triangle amonst a few trees. As with rest of land to west of road probably man made. | PeterD | 18/12/2017 |
| Main road looks best bet. Went to cemetery top as well. | Bramley | 17/11/2017 |

| Parked in Chadwell Heath cemetery to S. HP probably on the road, but small landscaped mound on E side road between A1112 and Kingston Hill Ave is higher, but is it man-made? Took my GR there anyway. | jonglew | 04/07/2016 |

| A night time halt on a deserted wide empty main road | Chris Pearson | 11/03/2015 |
| 1) Landscaped bank W side of main road, 2) raised level area N side of cemetery (artificial, reservoir-like), 3) various landscaped fenced level areas E side of road (quarry being restored) - main road itself seems to cross natural highpoint. | RHW | 14/12/2014 |

| Very dull, up the bank by the roadside. | simon and co | 26/02/2014 |
| Drove into cemetery entrance, easy walk to high point in N end and/or bank. Finishing off the borough tips in NE quarter. | nordicstar | 15/10/2013 |
| Easy parking in nearby Billet Road, which about the only good thing I can say about this top. A boring and busy main road. The nearby McDonalds is named after the top - is London Borough Top bagging really getting that popular?! | Hillsidenick | 21/07/2013 |
