Forest Hill is a district in the London Borough of Lewisham, situated between Dulwich and Sydenham in south London. It is notable for the Horniman Museum.
Like many London suburbs, Forest Hill was only sparsely populated until the mid-19th century, and was - as its name suggests - a wooded area situated on some small hills.
A canal, the Croydon Canal, was constructed through the area in 1809 but the large number of locks (28) meant it was not a commercial success, and it was bought by the London & Croydon Railway Company who constructed their railway along the same route, opening it in 1839.
Forest Hill contains Forest Hill School, a comprehensive boys school located on Dacres Road.
