London level in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is among the last destinations in the THPS 4 Skate Tour. A reimagined version of the original THPS 4’s classic map, London offers familiar layouts mixed with new objectives, closer trick opportunities, and complete vertical space to exploit.
To completely finish the level and reach 100% progression, all standard objectives, Pro Goals, and collectibles spread across the map must be completed by the players.
Score and Combo Targets
London has four main score-based challenges: High Score, Pro Score, Sick Score, and High Combo. The objectives are 125,000 for High Score, 200,000 for Pro Score, 400,000 for Sick Score, and 40,000 points in one combo for High Combo.
Although these are reasonable figures by endgame standards, the gloomy look of the level and wet, reflective surfaces may cause some trick lines to be difficult for new players to see.
To tackle the score challenges efficiently, start by getting speed immediately from the spawn ramp.
- Initiate a combo with a manual into a flip trick, and then grind across the edge of the adjacent fountain in order to gain some momentum.
- Move into the striped half pipe straight in front and make grab tricks to charge your Special meter.
- From there, jump out and grind the adjacent sidewalk rail, alternating between rails with jumps and putting manuals in between sections to preserve your combo.
- As you near the bridge section, transition from the half pipes and skate into the Southbank building’s skateable lot.
This chain alone can produce enough points for all four score objectives once perfected.
Picking up the SKATE Letters
Gathering the S-K-A-T-E letters in London introduces players to the map’s many rooftops and rail transitions.
The S is located just to the left of the spawn area, above a rail near the fountain. Use the nearby half pipe to reach this rail, then grind forward to collect the letter.
Following that same path leads up to the Southbank rooftop, where the K is positioned just ahead.
Drop down through a spine transfer to the lower roof section and skate right to take the A.To get the T, turn back and ride towards the wire stretched between buildings. Start grinding it and jump immediately to get on the rail of the next building.
The E lies over a ledge straight behind the spawn area; proceed from the last rooftop to the set of half pipes above, turn around, and jump towards the letter to grab it in midair.
Benihana Over the Fountains
One of the simpler trick-based objectives tasks players with performing a Benihana over the fountain gap near the spawn area. Start by skating forward and gaining momentum by grinding the fountain edge or using the nearby half pipe to build speed.
Once you’ve built enough velocity, launch off the fountain’s lip and press the correct grab input (↙ + grab) to execute a Benihana. Clearing the gap while performing the trick completes the challenge.
Snatching All Four Copper Hats
The Copper Hat challenge is an homage to Officer Dick, who has come back in this remastered version. Three policemen are found along the initial area. Skate through all three of them while performing any trick to pick up their hats.
After gathering all three, Officer Dick himself shows up on top of a nearby half pipe. Go up and do a trick through him as well, which causes him to teleport away.
He then reappears above the middle pillar close to the fountain. Use the nearby half pipes to jump high enough and swipe his hat again. Lastly, he’ll move to a rooftop above the fountain square. To get to him, go to the grass area with ramps, use the slope to climb up to the rooftop, and jump up behind him. Pull off a final trick to grab his last and fourth hat, which will complete the objective.
Wallriding Two Buses in One Combo
Timing is everything for this challenge. London’s double-decker buses drive on their loop around the map. Wait a few seconds after spawning until both buses are up. Wallride the second bus as it drives in from the bridge, then manual through the middle of the map until the first bus makes the turn. Wallride that one too, and if you can land without combo-breaking, the goal will be designated as complete.
How to Free Stompy the Elephant
To begin this objective, skate to the far side of the map from the fountain area. You’ll find a van surrounded by protestors, triggering a short cutscene.
Afterward, track down the same van as it drives through the level. You’ll need to skitch behind it by holding the grab button. Skitching for about five seconds opens the first rear door, and continuing attached for another ten opens the second. With both doors open, Stompy is released, finishing the challenge.
Where to Find the Secret Tape
London’s Secret Tape is concealed on a tall rooftop accessible by several steps. Start by skating forward from spawn and utilize the obelisk half pipe to propel yourself upwards and onto the adjacent grindable wire on the right. Grind this wire along the buildings and dismount at the end to land on a rooftop.
Then do a spine transfer off the building’s backside to access an even taller platform. On this high rooftop, find a half pipe and jump upwards to take the Secret Tape floating above. Take care to land your trick, particularly if you’re after grind-based trophies or achievements.
