Herne Hill

Herne Hill is a location which seems increasingly on peoples lips. This elegant part of south east London is nestled between its big sister Dulwich Village to the South and vibrant Brixton to the North.  Part of the charm of Herne Hill is certainly owed to the fact that it is not on a tube line. This means it has avoided being taken over by the usual chains you find on more commercialised high streets.  Rather more, it benefits from an interesting selection of one off Deli’s, bakery’s, coffee shops, bars and restaurants.

Walking around Herne Hill at the weekend it is hard to avoid the strong sense of community.  The exceptional schools in the area, state and independent, means it has a strong family focus. The area its self has a number of key factors which have put it on the map, the access to local schools definitely being one. The area is home to Brockwell Park housing Brockwell Hall which was built in 1831. The land surrounding it was opened to the public in 1891. Other key benefits include, Brockwell Lido an open air swimming pool dating from 1937, Herne Hill Velodrome built in 1891(the only remaining cycle racing track in London) which hosted the track cycling events in the 1948 Olympic Games. Herne Hill boasts large areas of un-spoilt Victorian and Edwardian spacious family homes, all within an easy stroll of Herne Hill station. This makes life easy for those still having to make the daily commute into central London.

Herne Hill is only two stops to Victoria in roughly 10 minutes, alternative a few minutes on the bus will get you to Brixton underground. There are many places worth stopping at in Herne Hill but I would certainly recommend our favourite deli Mimosa, Kindred Bakery, or if your plans are more relaxed head down to The Florence on Dulwich Road or the Grade II listed Half Moon Pub on Half Moon Lane.  Extensive regeneration projects for Herne Hill have undoubtedly helped the area.
