I've read the Jonathan Meades book, and it has some very evocative descriptions of Forest Hill, especially Ringmore Rise and the surrounding roads. He clearly has a fascination with the area, and you can often find him eulogising about the views from the heights of SE23.

Actually, it's not fiction but about someone growing up in the area between the wars.

Spike Milligan writes about Riseldine Road in his war memoirs and played in a jazz band in St Cyprians Hall before being drafted into the war.

Siobhan Clarke's parents, Eve and Teddy live in Forest Hill. Reference can be found on pages 27 and 276 of 'The Naming of the Dead' by Ian Rankin.
