Forest Croft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forest Croft is a 1930's Art Deco–style mansion block situated in Forest Hill, London. Built in 1937 on the site of the former Forest Hill Tennis Club, the building is situated at the top of Taymount Rise.
Comprised of 63 flats, Forest Croft remains, alongside Taymount Grange and The Capitol Cinema, one of South London's finest examples of late art-deco design.
A notable ex-resident is Michael Gambon, television, film and theatre actor, who lived in the block for four years during his early to mid twenties.
