Not an estate agent, am a session musican actually. Was just stating that there are still people who are willing to pay what I think is stupid money for property.

Still crazy, work colleague sold his top floor one bedroom flat near tainmount rise in forest hill for ?378,000 last week. Listed for ?250,000 then the bidding war started.

The development of the station area is going to happen much sooner than later I think, good mate works for a creative business in blenheim grove, they have upped sticks due to uncertainty of the situation. There are also other artisans in the arches and on the street seriously thinking about a move. Over recent months there has also been a much higher than usual rate of health and safety inspections. And dont forget the dreaded compulsory purchase order which was used to great affect in the east end leading up to 2012 olympics.

Previous to adventure was Inside 72, that was a fantastic place.

Not that I liked the place at all but better than another empty retail space.

Not going to make a detailed contribution so not to be seen as to perpetuate hearsay. However, I am very good friends with a chap who has had many business dealings with the gentleman who actually owns the capitol building.....lets just say watch this space.

A friend knows the chap who actually owns the building.

So its finally official The Capitol in forest hill closes in the next 3 to 5 weeks, reverting to a cinema.

Forest Hill/HOP have overground and London Bridge trains.....also I did Gatwick Airport in 35 mins door to door last week.

Moved to HOP five years ago after ten in East Dulwich, ED was cool, but I really love living in HOP. Move to HOP was based on house prices and transport links. Great places to eat, relaxed vibe, close to ED, Forest Hill and many parks. People sometimes sneer that we dont have a pub, however Forest Hill close as is ED. Not having a pub also means we dont have roaming packs of drunks on the streets at night or the associated crime. The bars are busy and have great food and drink. great deli, overground, sainsburys, good chippy....oh and we will have access to thameslink when it opens.

Honor oak station is having lifts installed at present.

They are probably waiting on the peckham station redevelopment before the works, in regard to pathing take place.

Opposite problem for me in honor oak park....have had two weeks of disruption and cant park in my driveway due to road resurfacing and new footpaths. I have noticed that all the new resurfacing and new footpaths are occurring in areas serviced by London Overground...honor oak, sydenham, penge west and starting in anerley shortly.
