The 1882 Primitive Methodist magazine tells us that things were happening in Forest Hill in the London Fourth circuit.. They had been meeting in a cottage and in 1866 built themselves a small school-chapel on part of an excellent site. In 1882 they were in the course of construction of the “the chapel proper”..
It was expected to cost £1,200 which meant that with what they owed on the previous chapel they had a debt of £1,750, towards which they had raised £400.
Forest Hill Primitive Methodist chapel is shown in Keith Guyler’s photograph of 1986 when it was called Central Primitive Methodist chapel.

I passed this Church today as my daughter lives nearby and the building has a build date of 1913 written at the top. Did this replace the building of 1881 or perhaps partly rebuilt?
The Methodist congregation from this church moved to a new building in 2010 http://www.foresthillmethodistchurch.org/
