    Hiking

    Rising to 322 feet (98 meters) at its highest point, Parliament Hill is a much-loved viewpoint for Central London. It's named for the view it would have once given towards the Houses of Parliament, though modern development has since masked much of this view. Interestingly, the story goes that, in 1605, Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby planned to watch the foiled destruction of Parliament from this spot. Remember, remember, the 5th of November.

    Hiking

    One of the best views you can get of London. Grab something to eat, a bottle of wine and go there for sundown.

    Running

    Standing at 322 ft (98 m) high, Parliament Hill offers great views south towards the City of London and the Houses of Parliament. The hill is topped with a Bronze Age burial mound and is said to be where Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby planned to watch parliament explode in the Gunpowder Plot.
    This area is well known for cross-country racing and regularly hosts the national championships.
