An urban hill climbing staple, Swain's Lane is numbered among 99 others of Simon Warren's top climbs in the UK.

Stretching for just 0.6 miles (950 m), and gaining 233 feet (71 m), it's tiny in comparison to some other climbs, but the nature of its accessibility makes it a really popular choice for London's inner city cyclists.
