Coed ind in London - Highgate and Latymer Upper?

Our ds was offered a reserve place at Highgate and Latymer Upper for 2012. I sense there will be lots of movement this week so we are trying to decide which side to push for! Just wondering if anyone out there is specifically seeking a co-ed ind secondary in London for their dc and came upon some useful insights into either of these two. We are quite split for a variety of reasons - especially as the commute to either is about the same (although neither commute is particularly close both are do-able!) and they both appear to be thriving since the move to co-education a few years back.

Turnip - if you're wavering, why not go and have another look at each school? My DC are at Highgate (very happily) but I have no experience of Latymer. On a further visit, there may be just something that springs out and helps you decide.

I trust FT's rankings the most - Latymer Upper came 25th in the independent schools table this year regarding both A level results and GCSE results. It was the top co-ed school apart from the Perse School in Cambridge - which I think is absolutely brill. Their facilities are fantastic - just as good as St Paul's etc, and in 2012 they got 50 people into Oxbridge. Latymer Upper is one to watch!!!
