About Forest Hill
Forest Hill is a residential district in the London Borough of Lewisham, approximately seven miles south-east of central London. It has developed a strong reputation as one of the most desirable areas in outer SE London, known for the Horniman Museum and Gardens, excellent primary schools, a characterful high street with independent businesses, and large Victorian and Edwardian family homes. Forest Hill is served by Forest Hill and Sydenham railway stations on the London Overground, giving services to London Bridge and the City. The area borders Sydenham to the south, Catford to the east, and Honor Oak to the north.
Property Types in Forest Hill
Forest Hill has an outstanding Victorian and Edwardian housing stock. The streets surrounding the Horniman Museum and along Dartmouth Road have some of the most impressive Victorian semi-detached and detached homes in outer SE London, many with large gardens and original period features. These properties attract families relocating from inner south London and buyers from further afield seeking significant space and character. The wider residential streets have well-maintained Edwardian terraces at more accessible prices. New build development is limited, preserving the period character of the area.
