No great adventure, or even a micro-adventure, for this one. The Wife had an appointment in Central London, so needing something to fill 30 mins after I dropped her off, I headed over to the City to bag this one. It’s one of the lowest London Borough High Points both in terms of elevation and (probably) excitement.

The best way to bag High Holborn is on the route of the City of London Boundary Walk where you can also visit the 14 dragons that guard the city.

Note that The City of London is actually a Ceremonial County not a London Borough. See The English County Tops for details.
