One thing that always surprises me when you see London from on-high is how flat it is. Barely any hills at all.

- NeoTar 3y agoYep - Greater London does have some hills, especially in the outer boroughs, but most of the highest points that are not within a couple of kilometres of the border are all under 140m high.
- gadders 3y agoYeah - what's the big one nearby? Hampstead Heath? That seems to have views over London.
- NeoTar 3y agoThat's the highest point that could reasonably be described as central - 137m For the rest see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_points_in_London https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_points_in_Lond...
- denton-scratch 3y agoYes, Highgate/Hampstead. Less-elevated are Highbury Hill, Muswell Hill and Ally Pally. Basically there's a row of hills across North London. Most of London is flat because it's part of the estuary of a major river; the bedrock is buried under an awful lot of silt and clay.
