On a recent ride I noticed Hertfordshire has Hertford, Hitchin, Harpenden, Hemel Hempstead, Hatfield, plus Harlow just over the border.
On the North Downs there are Warlingham, Woldingham and Whyteleafe, Westerham and (maybe) West Wickham.
Going down the A2 out of London there are Blackheath, Blackfen, Blendon, Bexleyheath, Bexley, and nearby Barnehurst and Belvedere.
Are there any more?

Without listing them, there seems to be many places in Northants that begin with H.
I first noticed this in 1990, when doing the routes for the Birthday Rides randonées.
My favourite one was Horninghold!

Horninghold is in Leicestershire!
It is at the top of Knob Hill.
