Sydenham Hill is the tallest hill in London. It is located on the boundary between the London Borough of Southwark and the London Borough of Lewisham. The neighbourhood of Forest Hill in Lewisham is also on Sydenham Hill.

The highest point on Sydenham Hill is 112m (367m). Part of the hill is still forested, and protected as the Sydenham Hill Wood Nature Reserve. Forest Hill is however residential. From here, you can get very nice views of the City of London.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
