Quick Links
The London level inTHPS 3+4is the second-to-last level of the normalTHPS 4Skate Tour, if we don’t include the Pinball secret level. This standard park has beenported from the campaign of the original gameto a more arcadey, timed, goals-based structure, and the new goals reference the original missions – including the appearance of Constable Richard, the British Officer Dick.
This guide explains how to complete every normal goal in the London level, how to complete every Pro Goal in London (which unlocks when all standard goals across bothTHPS 3and4Skate Tours are complete), and how to get every collectible inthe London level inTHPS 3+4.
All London Goals
High Score, Pro Score, Sick Score, High Combo
London has a few good lines that most players will find easy to follow, but the level’s gloomy, rainy environment can make it hard to suss out what you may and can’t grind. However, you can grind all of the sidewalk ledges in this level, which essentially lets skilled players continue a combo as long as they swap rails.
Toget these basic goals easily, try to follow this line:
Collect S-K-A-T-E
You can clickhere to see our full interactive map for London inTHPS 3+4.
In the London level, S-K-A-T-E begins on the lip of a building to the left of the starting fountains. Skate in between the fountains then veer slightly left across the road and use the half-pipe to reach a rail above.
Benihana over the Fountains
Tocomplete thisTHPS 3+4challengeand Benihana over the fountains, skate forward from the spawn point and gain speed by grinding the edge of the fountain, then use the half pipe just ahead to turn around and gain more speed. Ollie off of the lip of the fountain to gain a lot of height, then perform a Benihana grab (↙+X/O) and land on the other side.
As long as you have enough speed to make it across and get the “Ye Olde Fountain” gap while performing a Benihana, you will complete this goal.
Grab 4 Copper Hats
There are three police officers around the spawn point. Skate forward to find the first, around to the right along the road to find the second, and just next to the spawn point to find the third. To grab a hat, you must perform any trick while jumping through the police officer.
Once you collect all three,Officer Dick will appearat the top of a half pipe nearby. Skate up to this ramp and perform a trick to attempt to grab his hat. He will teleport away to the top of a pillar above the fountains. Use the half pipes around this pillar to perform a trick above him and attempt to take his hat again.
Once again, he will teleport away, this time to the top of a nearby building. To get here, take the ramp in the grassy area on either side of the building and transfer onto the ramp behind Officer Dick. For the last time, perform a trick, and you will take Officer Dick’s hat and complete this goal.
Wallride 2 Buses in One Combo
There are two double-decker buses that drive through this level. Wait for about ten seconds for the second bus to enter the level from the bridge, then follow it until it reaches the intersection. Perform a Wallride off of the bus, then manual forward toward the center of the level.
By this point, the first bus should be coming around the corner ahead. Manual up to the side of the bus then perform another Wallride. If you successfully land the combo, you will complete this goal.
Free Stompy the Elephant
To Free Stompy,THPS 3+4players must first skate to the far side of the level from the spawn point to a van surrounded by protestors. After the cutscene plays, you must find the van in the level and Skitch it for long enough to unlock both doors. The first door takes about 5 seconds of Skitching to open, while the second takes about 10 seconds.
Get the Secret Tape
The Secret Tape in the London level can be found on top of the buildings to the right of the central square from spawn. Skate forward from the start point onto the obelisk half pipe and use it to gain height and grind the wire to the right. This wire leads to the top of a building. Jump off at the end, then Spine Transfer off of the back of the building to get onto a higher level. The Secret Tape can be found above one of the half pipes on this highest rooftop.
All London Pro Goals
Platinum Score: 800,000
The Platinum score for London is double the Sick Score in the normal goals. This is a lot of points to rack up, and London doesn’t have many obvious lines (unlike the Alcatraz level, which has a great route for combos right at the start).
Grind curbs to continue your combos across the level and build speed, avoid grinding the same rail more than twice in the same combo to preserve your balance bar, and take advantage of as many gaps as you’re able to to build up a Platinum Score. Keep an eye out for buses, too – if one runs into you in the middle of a combo, you’ll bail.
Collect C-O-M-B-O
Essentially, the C-O-M-B-O letters are the Pro version of the S-K-A-T-E letters, but you must collect all of them in the same combo to complete this Pro Goal. The C begins on the ledge to the right of the fountains, which wraps around the back of spawn to the O letter.
Remember that you must revert after a Spine Transfer to continue a combo, and think about retooling your character’s stats so their Manual and Rail Balance stats are maxed out.
Grind the Full Southbank Lights gap
In the Southbank area, which is below the bridge on the left side of the fountains, you will see a row of lights connecting lightpoles that border the entire area. You must grind this entire rail, and jump across the gap in the middle, to complete this goal. Take the ramp at the end of the street to reach the M letter on the ledge of the building, then continue to grind this ledge until you reach the B and the O.
Impress the Pro Skaters
Throughout the level you will find seven Pro Skaters – NPCs standing in various locations who are always holding a skateboard. You must perform a high-value combo or trick (worth at least 8,000 points) near each Pro Skater to impress them.
Collect the Stompy Plushies
There are five Stompy Plushies in the London level inTHPS 3+4. To find all of these in one run, follow this line to find each location:
All London Cash Drop Locations
London Iron Galaxy Logo
From the start point, turn around and go left. Use the half pipe next to the building to gain some speed, then launch off of the ramp below the column on the corner of the square to reach the grindable wire above the fountains. Grind this wire, then jump off and to the right after you pass the obelisk to reach the Iron Galaxy logo in London.
London Hidden Board Location
To get the Hidden Deck in London, go into the parking lot near the Southbank subarea below the bridge, and break through the glass. You can also find a Cash Drop here. Once inside, come to a stop, turn around, and skate into the open elevator. You will teleport above the level andpick up the London Hidden Deckas you fall.
