Forest Hill is a great place to live. 15 mins into London Bridge or East Croydon by Train. Good bus service to Lewisham, Brixton, Crystal Palace, Dulwich and Peckam. It has a traditional Victorian feel, with a small high street. We have our own library, fantastic Museum with great parks and woods on our door step. Our swimming pool has recently been given the go ahead for a makeover. We have a small but useful Tescos and medium sized Sainsburys (although a large SavaCentre in Sydenham - which is just down the road). We have a good mix of pubs, restaurants and takeaways. Pub Quiz nights, comedy nights, Weatherpoons for cheap and chearful, Gastropub - Brockley Jack (20 mins walk away) is a pub with a small theatre upstairs. There's a good community feel and people are passionate about where they live and what's going on. The Hornimans Park holds a Xmas Concert each year and supports classical and multicultral festivals with music and food at different times throughout the year. We have a local magazine called SE23 (see if you can get hold of a copy!) and there is also the Forest Hill Society that regularly meet and communicate events, planning issues and new development in the local area.
