London co-eds, long list for open days

I'm lining up the open days for our Year 4 girl at state primary. I want to do a round of open days this year on my own and then filter it down to 3 or 4 to take her to see next year in year 5. She's bright and would have a good chance at any 10+/11+.

We have considerable flexibility in location (north, central, west, south west) and type (state, grammar, faith (Catholic), private, etc).

The one thing she is keen on, although she's not sure why, is going co-ed. I've been to see a few girls schools and personally like them. I might take her to see one just in case it dispels some myth she has about them.

So I've put together a list of co-eds that don't have strict catchment area rules - or at least ones we could work with.

Am I missing some that I should be considering?

Additions welcome (plus any comments from parents at a school - I tend to ignore second hand data).

SW/W/Central
Harrodian
Ibstock Place
St Benedicts
Kingston Grammar
Latymer Upper
Portland Place
Emanuel

North
King Alfred
Dame Alice Owen
Latymer Edmonton
Highgate
Forest

The list doesn't have local comps on it, not because I'm against them, just because we could only consider the ones in our catchment. I'm looking at those too.
