Explore Forest Hill
Known for
The Horniman Museum (free and one of London's most loved local museums), Horniman Gardens, the South Circular Road arts scene, and an increasingly creative South East London neighbourhood
A little history
Forest Hill developed as a Victorian suburb. The Horniman Museum, opened in 1901 by tea merchant Frederick Horniman, houses extraordinary anthropological and natural history collections — and one of the world's finest musical instrument collections. The gardens are among South London's best.
The Horniman Museum is genuinely world-class and free — the aquarium, the walrus, the musical instruments and the gardens are all outstanding. The Devonshire Road for independent food. Honor Oak Park for community feel.
