Breathtaking view of London and beautiful landscapes. Highly recommended place to visit with family

Getting here is super easy, it takes basically a light walk uphill through a calm and quiet neighborhood. It can be muddy indeed, and it is a common place to take your dog for a walk, or do some jogging. There are benches all over the place and I must say if the weather is clear, you can get one of the best views for London - especially during sunrise. Come here, sit down and enjoy the view.

View is ok but not beyond other hills in north London. Also, expect to get through a ton of mud even on days without rain. Our dog had plenty of fun though!

Love this viewpoint and is a regular destination for heath walks. On a clear day seeing all the way across the city is really amazing.

Local tip: after times of rain or heavy use (New Year's for example) the hill is incredibly muddy and marshy and is a slippy journey to the benches. The mud is then carried onto the paths so I'd recommend not wearing white trainers or trousers! It seems to be a mistake that many visitors make and they end up muddy for the walk back!

Here's a recipe for a breathtaking Parliament Hill moment:
- wait for a cold November weekday evening; showers are favourable;
- take no transport, take a walk. The longer the better, but no less than 3 miles;
- get on the Hill from the Millfield lane. The street is really something, and the ponds on the western slopes - mesmerizing at night;
- climb to the top to where the viewpoint is
- behold the clouds clear just as you approach the top and the viewpoint
- enjoy a breathtaking sight of London City at night with not a single soul around, making you feel the moment is trully yours only
- moon is optional, will only spoil your photos (see below!)

The summit of Parliament Hill is one of those wonderful viewing points where London is spread out at your feet. I never tire of arriving here in any weather to remind myself of what an amazing city this is. Fortunately there are benches at the top since it's a relatively sharp climb from any direction.
