Hill Work

[Deleted User]

I want to do some hill rep training but live and work in London and am struggling to find anywhere suitable in the near vicinity. Can anyone suggest somewhere within reasonable distance of East London?

I don't live in London but have raced in Beckenham Place Park south east London & lots of hills there.

Depends how far is reasonable - could you nip along to Hampstead Heath? Or Highgate?

Charlton/Shooters Hill - that's quite near you, presumably.

Lots of steep and long hills aroud there, both quiet-ish residential streets and some parks.

Shooters Hill is definitely an option. Will check it out this weekend. Hampstead is probably a bit far but I might venture over there on special occasions (?). Thanks for your help.

Greenwich Park has some nice hills - both on footpaths, and on grass. A beautiful park as well. I always do my hill sessions there.

Epping or Hainault Forest for weekend long-runs. Soft underfoot and especially beautiful this time of year.
