Thread: Perry Vale Closure 14/3/14 Post: RE: Perry Vale closed

I think Forest Hill played an important role in the development of both the Who and mod. Anyone with Quadrophenia should look at the text from Pete Townsend on the inside cover of the album and to who... |

I think that's a bit harsh. Running a business is no easy thing - just look around at local empty commercial premises and the fact the site was vacant for so long. I think it's great they've moved in ... |

Thread: Evening Standard availability in Forest Hill Post: RE: Evening Standard availability in Forest Hill
Ironic given that today's edition states that Forest Hill is 'finally gentrifying', whatever that means. Maybe the ES doesn't like to be seen in gentrified areas? |

Thread: moving south of Stanstead road Post: RE: moving south of Stanstead road
I can vouch for Kilmorie Road being a great area. About 12 mins walk to FH, HOP, or Catford stations. Also on the doorstep are three great primary schools, the FH tavern, Le Querce, Babour, two very g... |

The interesting thing for me is not that prices in Forest Hill are going up, it's the fact they are going up relative to other areas of London and in particular outer London and the South East. This m... |

Wih the massive success of the ELL Bakerloo Souh has to be a wise thing to do. Making use of overground tracks will surely keep the costs reasonable. South from Lewisham to Catford would get my vote. |
