Settlements
When it comes to settlements, South Street, a hamlet in Bromley, is the highest in Greater London at 220 metres (722 ft) above sea level. The six next highest are all nearby in southern Bromley: Horns Green (216 metres (709 ft)), Berry's Green and Biggin Hill (both 190 metres (623 ft)), Aperfield and Single Street (both 180 metres (591 ft)), and Luxted at 177 metres (581 ft).
Outside Bromley, the highest settlements are Sanderstead (170 metres (558 ft)) and Selsdon (165 metres (541 ft)) both in Croydon. Excepting both Bromley and Croydon, the highest settlement is Arkley in Barnet at 147 metres (482 ft), as well as nearby Monken Hadley and Chipping Barnet, both 131 metres (430 ft), and Barnet Gate 129 metres (423 ft). Other settlements above 120 metres above sea level outside these three boroughs are Vale of Health in Camden (130 metres (427 ft)), Harrow on the Hill in Harrow (124 metres (407 ft)) and Shooters Hill in Greenwich (120 metres (394 ft)).
Note that some of these settlements have hilltops (from the table above) within the built-up area, such as Harrow on the Hill and Shooters Hill.
It can be noted from these that parts of north and south London are generally the highest, whereas west and (particularly) east London is the flattest.
