Highgate area .... Jackson's Lane is not too bad, the cobbles and holes in various places break your rhythmn though.
Cressida is toughest I think (I have not tried it on fixed - an indication). Swains lane longer but not as steep. Highgate West a little easier than Swains because it curves and is therefore a little longer and less gradient (but do not try it tonight - burst water main at the top - and it is freezing up there tonight - I was running on Hampstead Heath and the puddles are ice). I got up Highgate West on 48 x 17 without thinking of walking last Friday, but I would not make it regularly part of my route home .... :)
