There may be a case to answer by the pilot/AOC holder over that, imho

Even if it’s legal I certainly wouldn’t want to do it. I don’t understand people who fly single engine over built up areas. There is literally nowhere to go if the engine stops.
It may well be legal in this day and age (I think it’s 1000’ above highest object etc), but common sense dictates otherwise.
I had the very same discussion on the Gatwick GA thread and was shot down about it.
There’s even an article in this months Pilot magazine about flying over London in an RV6.
Old pilots and bold pilots and all that..
