I tend to agree that as the number of cafes in Forest Hill reaches double-figures we probably don't need any more for the moment. But there are a few cafes that are not exactly centrally located. The corner of London Road and Dartmouth/Devonshire ought to be the perfect place for a cafe (which is presumably one reason that the next door coffee shop always seems busy)

Unfortunately estate agents love these corner locations especially when opposite the station, and it only takes a few sales to pay the rent for the year. A sensible estate agent would realise that those units on Perry Vale are a great spot and are the first shops seen by most people coming to Forest Hill from Hoxton (and other parts of London to our north).

They have the added benefit that Perry Vale isn't in a conservation area and there is a large car park in easy reach.
