However long it has been there and however long it has served the great unwashed, it is an eye-sore in the most prominent place in Forest Hill. The row of shops (Jolly B; From the Forest etc) look almost inviting from the train until your eye is drawn to the miserable, gun metal grey shutters and the dirty yellow signage of yesteryear.

How the world has changed though, a thread where there is a consensus - that Forest Hill has too many cafes?!?! what a nice problem to have.

I laughed at the suggestion of a Tourist Information! It would be the easiest job in the world. You'd get three customers a month and they probably got off at the wrong stop!
