i ride with risers, sometimes i like to ride with my hands practically on the stem (in the dip of the risers) which stretches me out a little, then the rest of the time i ride with my hands in the right place, which is wide enough apart to be able to control the bike and gives you more or less enough space to get up hills. but still chopped down a little.
Plus, if you're riding around london there arent a great many hills that really require hill-climbing specific setups, unless you want to race up them of course... I made the move from drops to risers recently, and to be honest i'm glad i did, i feel in much more control over the bike.
