Hello,
Is there a Christmas tree sale in Forest Hill? I am a new resident in the area (moved here in January) and still getting to know what this wonderful community has to offer. Any tips much appreciated.
Thanks,
Marina
Christmas trees are sold around the back of Forest Hill station, between the rear entrance to the station and Forest Hill Cars. There’s a small lot there where they set up every year.
If you are feeling charitable, you can also get a tree, either local pick up or delivery from http://kingschristmastrees.org. All proceeds go to local homeless charities.
Welcome to the hood!

The car park for the Cricket Club on the corner of the South Circular becomes a Xmas Tree market and is pretty good - on the corner of South Circular and Lordship Lane.

Another vote for Shannon’s here. We bought our tree from them last year & thought it was the best tree we had bought in the five years we have lived in Forest Hill. Welcome to FH

Double take there. Where would people be mooring their yachts round here, even if we had any?

The place next to the station entrance on Perry Vale has the most expensive Christmas trees I’ve ever seen. They wanted £50 for a little 6ft one the one and only time we went in there. Sainsburys are a better bet.
Haha Tim, if only xx
Haha!

It’s a new plan to take advantage of all the burst water mains we seem to get around here.

Next to the Signal would make sense as that is a genuine bit of canalside, albeit sans canal.

Why in the sink holes of course 
I can confirm that Shannons has a great selection of Christmas trees, I was there yesterday and the smell was lovely.
