Welcome to Sydenham!
Location:
Forest Hill and Sydenham stations are both a 12-minute walk away. They're on the Overground (East London line). From here, you can get to Canada Water to take the Jubilee Line into central London, or stay on to Shoreditch for cool bars and restaurants. Trains also run to London Bridge and Victoria for access to the city and sites. If you're going to Gatwick Airport, take the train south to east Croydon and change there. Journey takes 45 minutes - 1 hour.

Peckham is great and this place used to be a car park - it now has food places and a rooftop bar where you can look out over London. It's arty rather than posh, and affordable - don't dress up!
