Once home to T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), Pole Hill rises 91 metres above low-lying London. Spot City skyscrapers from more than 10 mi away.
Pole Hill is a hill in Chingford, East London, on the border between Greater London and Essex. From its summit there is an extensive view over much of east, north and west London, although in the summer the leaves of the trees in Epping Forest have a tendency to mask some of the view to the north and west.
