I'm not one who has offered any negative (or positive) comments but I would suggest there are a few interesting pieces of modern architecture in Forest Hill.

Ringmore Rise is one recent example. There is another self-build house being built behind Ringmore Rise that is possibly quite interesting, but not visible. Planning permission has been given to an 'interesting modern building' on the edge of Albion Millennium Green, and there is another development proposal on Westbourne Drive and on Canonbie that are quite interesting.

In addition there are a number of modern buildings that I would have difficulty defining as interesting, but they can be found on Round Hill, Perry Vale/Hindsley Place, Sainsburys on London Road, and the extension to the Horniman should not be overlooked. I agree with Baggydave that Forest Hill has an interesting mix of different architectural styles from various eras.

The mugging of celticexplorer's mother is disgusting and I'm very sorry to hear about that, but all the bad things you have to say about Forest Hill apply equally to any other part of London. In fact as a place becomes more popular, it often attracts more crime and litter.

On another point, I think it is unfair of people who have shown no interest in posting on SE23.com in the past to criticise people who are regular contributors on a variety of subjects and who have a passion for improving Forest Hill and the community. I started this thread to allow people to express their opinions (politely if possible), not to be shouted down or slagged off for expressing opinions one way or another. The mark of 'interesting modern architecture' is that it should provoke some debate, and there will be differing opinions.
