In addition to the starting stairs and 2nd bonfire, I enjoy finding other "hidden" summon spots in Anor Londo on my sl55s. Two other interesting ones:
1) Near the blacksmith. A fair number of hosts only open the side door gate for some reason, maybe to confuse invaders, so they cut through the blacksmith's area. And of course you can pick up folks doing a lot of shopping.
2) Just outside the main cathedral doors, near the 2 sentinels and pvp spawn site. You often get summoned by players doubling back after losing phantoms, or those who got chased out of the cathedral by invaders, in addition to folks in #1. Most of the weird situations I get summoned into happen in this location, like being summoned right next to an invading DM or DW.
Neither of these are as high volume as the traditional spots, but they can break the monotony a bit particularly if you are also doing some farming or blacksmithing yourself.
