WENTWORTH ESTATE AGENTS FOREST HILL

Forest Hill is a district of the London Borough of Lewisham in South East London, a picturesque leafy residential area, landscaped in gardens, and family friendly. A place buzzing with creative energy, local artists regularly exhibiting their work in a plethora of art galleries.

There is a predominance of Victorian properties here, with more modern homes built to satisfy increasing demand, with the price point being a bit higher than the average due to it being quite a desirable area. Forest Hill tends to be very popular with young families, with the wide variety of schools present here but also due to the green spaces and family-orientated amenities, such as a leisure centre that provides pools and swimming classes, an aquarium, a library, mommy groups or children’s clubs.

However, the extension of the Overground has now transformed Forest Hill into a desirable location for professionals as well, with journeys to working hubs such as Canary Wharf, Victoria or London Bridge taking just 20 minutes. Transportation options are also varied with great road connections and the M25 less than an hour away. Buses from Forest Hill also serve a large part of South East London and Central London.

Forest Hill does live up to its name, with plenty of outdoor choice when it comes to green space, boasting several parks, gardens and two natural reserves with Mayow Park, Dacres Wood and Devonshire Road protecting wildlife and flora, or presenting panoramic views of London from the top of One Tree Hill.

Arguably best known for the Horniman Museum and Garden, with its bandstand, giant gourds and alpacas, the area provides a community-centric high street (Dartmouth Road) with plenty of independent stores, a wide array of dining options, cafes that let you paint while you drink tea and eat scones and plenty of family-friendly leisure activities.
