You're Invited: A Curated Shopping Experience in Forest Hill

A curated shopping experience bringing together independent designers and makers across fashion, jewellery, art and objects for the home.

3–8 November 2026

Better Things, Dartmouth Road, Forest Hill

Independent style. Distinctive design. Unexpected finds.

This November, discover a different side of London shopping as a collection of independent designers and makers comes together in Forest Hill for a week-long curated retail experience celebrating individuality, creativity and thoughtful design.

Taking place from Tuesday 3 to Sunday 8 November 2026 at Better Things on Dartmouth Road, the event brings together a considered mix of fashion, jewellery, art, ceramics, candles and objects for the home. Each brand has its own point of view, offering visitors the chance to discover distinctive pieces and meet the people behind them.

Whether you’re searching for a thoughtful gift, looking to discover an independent designer or simply in the mood for something a little different, this is an invitation to explore.

Why Forest Hill?

With its leafy streets, independent businesses and creative community, Forest Hill offers a different pace from London's busiest shopping destinations.

Located in South East London, the neighbourhood is also home to the much-loved Horniman Museum and Gardens, making it an appealing destination for an afternoon of culture, browsing and discovery.

See this as an invitation to spend time in the area, explore Dartmouth Road and support independent businesses while enjoying a more personal kind of shopping experience.

Make a day of it: browse the pop-up, stop for a coffee and discover a few of Forest Hill’s local spots along the way.
