Quite. This thread has indicated to me just this is in area naming terms: Honor Oak is the more established place name historically. Forest Hill and the seemingly ever expanding East Dulwich are more recent inventions.

I do have a leaning towards Robin's thinking on this too - the nearest station is a good indicator. In this case though, there used to be two stations either side of a hill they were named after.

Am not one to try and turn the clock back but some of the current usage is I reckon area prestige led and Honor Oak and Forest Hill have some clout in this regard too, especially post Overground links.
