For my Greater London High Point adventure I saved the closest, if not the best, for last. As the nearest to where I live I held this one back for a quick trip on a rainy day. That never really happened so I bagged it on the way back from Westerham Heights.

Not much to see here: it’s a quiet residential road parallel to the M4 and close to the service road to Heston Services. The high point appears to be near the junction with Meadow Way. It’s so flat though, it could be anywhere.
