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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
