South Sydenham Park, on which work began c.1863, was one of the luxury estates created in Forest Hill to take advantage of the Crystal Palace boom. Inglemere Road was the last to be begun on the estate, and most of its houses were built in the mid 1880s, in a wide variety of styles, often within a single example. Hyndford House was demolished in the early 1960s. Numbers 32-44 Inglemere Road now occupy the site.

There was little need for state education in Forest Hill during the 19th century, when the numerous private schools catered for the middle classes and the church schools for the working classes. However, the many smaller houses built south of Stanstead Road in the 1890s, of which these in Elsinore Road are typical, overstreched the churches. The London County Council stepped in with the Kilmorie Road School, built in 1903. It was damaged during World War II, but has been restored.

The last substantial part of Forest Hill to be built was the area between Stanstead Road and Perry Hill, which was the furthest from the station. Kilmorie Road, seen here, dates from the 1890s, when modest terraces had become the standard, rather than the detached and semi-detached houses of Forest Hill's more oppulent days. The view is towards Stanstead Road.
