I'm looking for some hills near London to use for some hiking training ...
I had thought about a trip to Bournemouth to take in Beachy Head and a bit of the South Downs - but then discovered that the cheapest day return fare is 30 quid - so should probably make a full day out of it, rather than just go there, walk, and return !
googling for hiking near london brought up some interesting looking options ...
the view from Leith Hill looks good

Box Hill is best known as a cycling hill ... but walking is also possible !
Lots of different routes / distances are possible

London Hiker has an interesting looking list - focusing on heights

The ones that get mentioned everywhere are Greenwich Park, Hampstead Heath, Primrose Hill and Richmond Park
