A pleasant stroll from Hadley Wood station to the white gates on a crisp December evening. A pillar box en route had been adorned with quite superb knitted Christmas figures! | Nick Down1 | 12/12/2018 |
Only just daylight. White gates helped make top visible in the early morning gloom. Loads of money round here or maybe just whopping big mortgages. | Campbell Singer | 05/08/2018 |
Lots of children and people about on very hot day. White gates mark the spot. | arranc | 28/06/2018 |

Middle of road at white gates which match OpenStreetMap position of boundary | RHW | 25/01/2015 |
Parked outside the school and walked back to the gates while dodging the Porsches and Jabguars leaving the nearby mansions. Hadley Common looks good for a long stroll. | Nick | 18/01/2015 |
Bike ride from home in Oakwood: Bournwell Hill - Mote End Farm - Deacons Hill. Then got a puncture in Elstree and had to walk back. What a waste! | Mark Jackson | 01/11/2014 |
On the way back from a family do in Enfield | squeegs | 05/10/2013 |

'Bagged' this, erm, hill as part of 5 north London borough tops whilst on my way to the 2012 Xmas party. More accurately, got out of car at assumed highest point and then drove off again. | RichieRambler | 06/12/2012 |
En route to Weybridge after work, drove up lane, parked up by Enfield sign and mossied around, unremarkable. Note to self not to return ;-) | nordicstar | 23/10/2012 |
Third gear top by the gate very dull. | simon and co | 30/04/2012 |
Geocaching around the Hadley Wood and Barnet area. Nice area, but not a lot here. | CandS37 | 13/08/2011 |
Biked from home (Kew) 4 Hours Return trip. Nice area up here. | NilsOS | 19/08/2010 |
Slightly tricky parking on all the manicured lawns outside huge unfriendly houses - best bit is just outside the Welcome to Enfield sign. Flat top, high point could be anywhere - next to the Enfield sign seems as good as anywhere! | wheresthepath | 21/02/2010 |
On route to Barnet tops. Well over a tree route and broke my glasses which I got fixed in Barnet. Thank you SpecSavers. | Overthehilljill | 19/10/2009 |
Pleasant woodland approach possible through Monken Hadley Common. | Smudge | 02/03/2008 |
Presumably its the white gates and the tall post. | destaylor | 26/02/2008 |
