Sydenham

SE26 4 / SE26 5 / SE26 6

Family-friendly

Sydenham sits between Forest Hill and Crystal Palace and has a distinct residential character that is popular with families who want good schools and access to the park without paying Dulwich prices. The High Street along Sydenham Road has a decent mix of shops and services, and the area is particularly valued for its proximity to Crystal Palace Park which provides excellent green space. Transport is via Sydenham station which connects to the Overground and provides access to London Bridge. Some streets are nicer than others, with the roads closer to the park and the.border with Forest Hill being particularly sought after.
