mountain views near London

Hi guys, I'm doing a project about mountains and I need to take pictures of mountains during nightfall, but don't know where to go. I need a place where I can see the mountains from a distance. Hope you could give me some advice, thx!!

(I have no experiences on hiking before so I prefer somewhere safe, thx again!)

(or can someone tell me where can I find mountain view hiking groups in London?

Rather depends on what you mean by a mountain. Even Wales and Scotland don't have anything very impressive. You need to head for the Alps.

Is this a serious questions? If you are actually in London you know there are no nearby mountains.

You could try the Dutch mountains.

If this is a serious question, which I doubt, look at a map. Or try Google Earth. You will find mountains, or something resembling mountains in north Wales and in Scotland. You will find hills in many places.
Or cross the channel or the North Sea, and photograph foreign mountains, real ones.

Perfect solution to see (real!) mountains from a distance at nightfall:

Board flight SX502 at London City airport, leaves at 18:20 and arrives in Bern at 19:00

The airport is south of Bern, in Belp - look south and you see the famous Eiger-Mönch-Jungfrau triumvirate of alpine peaks, and others to either side.

As painted by famous Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler, seen at https://www.pinterest.com/pin/466474473875619264/

Ah the Swiss Centre in London has closed and took their mountains home with them.

There are no real mountains within a sea gulf's day's possible flight of London.
