Removals around Honor Oak, named after a Norman-era oak tree that once marked the edge of the ancient Great North Wood.
One Tree Hill, the green space at the centre of the area, takes its more famous name — Honor Oak — from the "Oak of Honour" that stood on its summit from Norman times, marking the boundary of the Earl of Gloucester's land and forming part of the ancient Great North Wood that once covered much of this part of London. Local legend holds that Queen Elizabeth I picnicked under the original tree in 1602 on her way to visit a knight in Lewisham; the oak standing there today is the third planted on the same spot, dating from 1905.
Around that hill, Honor Oak and Honor Oak Park are mostly quiet, residential Victorian terraces, sitting between the busier centres of Forest Hill and Brockley without a town centre of their own. Honor Oak Park station (Overground and mainline) serves the area, and because it sits between two more distinct neighbours, it shares something of both their characters.
Honor Oak's hill and neighbouring Sydenham Hill Wood are both genuine surviving fragments of the same ancient Great North Wood, even though they're a couple of miles apart — a thread that runs under several of the borough's green spaces on this side of Lewisham.
