Also has to have something to do with the changing demographic. Used to be hardly any suits 6 years ago. Last 2 years the number of suits/city workers seems to have just ballooned.

My guess is since the Overground has come in. People have been priced out of some of the more traditional areas of London, city/canary wharf workers have see how good a deal Forest Hill is/was. How many trains per hour there are as well as amenities.


Ive also met a few people who used to live around Shoreditch / Islington who have moved down here recently because it's cheaper but still on the Overground.
