Downhill venue needed, London

Hi all,

We require a venue to test our unpowered lightweight vehicle. About 100 meters downhill, straight
with a flat at the bottom for stopping. The smoother the better as we have smallish wheels. Would
ideally like somewhere in London, I know its quite flat but anything considered.

Any suggestions are very gratefully received.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Lou

I live in North London. There are loads of hills around Highgate, Hampstead, Muswell Hill, Alexandra Palace. However, I don't know where you'd find a place to do what you want to do. You'd have to get on your bike and look around.

How about the slope down from White Lodge northwards in Richmond Park ?

Closed to road traffic apart from direct access to White Lodge and part of NCN4.

If that's the one I think it is it has substantial speed bumps on it.
