I was under the impression that there is a lot of pressure on these girls ,and I don't want my DD to grow up a robot who only works ,works,works...Life is to short and childhood is even shorter.

Considering SPGS is £8k a year more than LEH you would need to ADORE it before choosing it.

Which is closest/easiest to get to?

The "Ethos" page of SPGS's website carries a photo of its High Mistress and a signed message from her, which ends with the words, "St Paul’s is a place of boldness, warmth, creativity and fun, where the search for precision and beauty matter and where humour and laughter are never far away."

On the other hand, in its "Project Ambition" brochure about its new building plans (also on its website), the school says,"we recognise that stress and anxiety amongst young people is [sic] increasing throughout society and its [sic]consequences are writ large, especially in high achieving environments. As we expected, this was highlighted as a key issue for us in a recent survey of parents, staff and girls." That doesn't sound much "fun" to me.

You might want to find out more about that survey if you can.

Then go for LEH, every time!

Go with your gut. Some girls love SPGS but they will have a number in each year who are seriously unhappy. It is quite a specific culture.
