What's on in Forest Hill

Greater London, England

Forest Hill sits quietly in Greater London, just a hop and skip from Greenwich Park. Sylvan Post has been hosting local acts for ages without ever needing to shout about it. It is a proper neighbourhood where you can catch a gig or two before heading home. There are always markets popping up near the station if you fancy a browse. The library runs sessions that keep families entertained on a rainy afternoon. Near Here knows exactly what is going on so you do not have to hunt for flyers.
