Forest Hill

Eat, drink and shop - at an angle, near some trees

CafesPubsShops

Forest Hill does what it says on the tin.

We have a forest.

We have hills.

Your thighs will get a workout exploring this leafy corner of Southeast London.

The great news? Our shops, salons, cafes and bars aren’t on the really hilly bit. Phew!

Home of the wonderful Horniman Museum – and its giant stuffed walrus – we’ve also got a wealth of independent businesses within strolling distance of the Overground station.

Whether you’re a visitor or a local, this site is your guide to the indie businesses of SE23.
