Professional Oven Cleaning Forestdale CR0

There is no known historic meaning behind the name of Forestdale. It seems to derive from forest, however, there is no important forest or any part of an ancient woodland here. It’s most likely that the housing developers came up with an appealing name for the new estate. Most of the homes in this CR0 area were built between the late 1960s and the mid-1970s on the ground that used to contain small farms. Forestdale is famous for its cul-de-sacs (dead ends). They run off four main streets and are subdivided into distinct neighbourhoods where all the houses are of the same style.

Waters Group developed much of the housing here. Three of the buildings used an innovative solar heating system. This system won an industry award in 1972. Forestdale has many green spaces. It also has a nature reserve that provides residents with a great place for relaxing walks. Addington Golf Club separates this South West London area from the nearby New Addington.
