I don't do enough workouts that tickle the anaerobic side of things.

I run long hills. Is it as simple as working in one session a week of hard effort short hill intervals?

Any tips for a good type of workout to start off with?

You're around Blackheath right?
St Germans place. Run 2 sides of the triangle faster than your 5k pace, run the 3rd side easy. The first rep should probably feel a bit too easy, by the time you're on 4th, 5th, 6th then it should feel pretty tough. Pick a pace that you can maintain throughout the reps rather than going too hard at first and then slowly dying throughout

I am, we're on Wat Tyler Road so the other side of the heath. That sounds perfect as it gives me a good 1.5km for a warmup jog. Will give that a shot next week.

Might alternate hill repeats week as @arducius suggested, and try your method on the other weeks.
