Selsdon Vale & Forestdale

CR0 9 / CR2 8

Family-friendly

Forestdale is a 1970s planned development that feels like it was dropped into the countryside. Quite a lot of townhouses and maisonettes in a cul-de-sac layout. Selsdon Vale is similar vintage. Both are surrounded by green space and woodland, which gives them an unusually rural feel for Zone 6. The trade-off is isolation: you really need a car here, and the bus services can be infrequent.
