Hills in East London

[princeperch]

Are there any decent hills around East London. I'm in e3 and want to get some hill training in for my marathon but it's all so flat round here. I could head north but I've only got limited time on Saturday and want to keep it as local as poss. Any ideas ?

Try going south, Shooters Hill,s not to far away.

Greenwich park has a couple of fierce little numbers, although they aren't long. Maze hill road, which runs up the side of the park, is quite tasty as well

Jog to Greenwich via isle of doigs foot tunnel, up to Black heath, then out towards shooters hill

My mate used to cycle up and down archway hill.

How about around Chingford/Sewardstone, and that end of Epping Forest - not be too far away.

Used to cycle around that area and there's a mix of inclines there.

Didn't think about Greenwich so I'll take a run over there and pay some respects to the hills there.

Ta all

If you're going that far go to Highgate. Less traffic and steeper/longer hills.
