Hi, I'll have been here for 25 years this coming April - the longest I've lived anywhere - Forest Hill has met and continues to meet most requirements whether it is shopping, pubs, restaurants, access to other parts of London for work, entertainment etc, and of course to lots of green spaces. I've worked all over London especially north but never found a good reason to move although it would have saved on commuting. You'll like it here I'm sure! ED is ok but, hey, its as flat as a pancake so not half as much fun as here when it snows- try sledging down Lordship Lane!
