Welcome to Honor Oak- Forest Hill
Honor Oak is an inner suburban area of Forest Hill principally of the London Borough of Lewisham, with part in the London Borough of Southwark. It is named after the oak tree on One Tree Hill that Elizabeth I is reputed to have picnicked under.
Forest Hill benefits not only from direct Overground links to Shoreditch and Dalston but also from its proximity to Sydenham, Lordship Lane and achingly trendy Peckham. However, it's also way more than just a transport hub in a good location. Like nearby Brockley, the area is popular with artists and actors. Then there's also those defecting from East London in search of the capital's next hot location, which could very well be Dartmouth Road, the half-mile stretch linking Forest Hill proper to the fringes of neighbouring Sydenham. Still, it's managed to retain its genteel heart. Families benefit from one of London’s most eccentric and child-friendly museums, the Horniman (its gardens have some of the best views across London and a bijou farmers' market), and a fairly recently refurbished swimming pool and leisure centre.
