Hi,


I started this thread on the Residential section but with no response, maybe more luck in this section.


We are looking to rent and possibly buy a house on Half Moon Lane (Herne Hill end). What is it like to live on this road? Is it too busy and noisy? Is it safe and desirable road? Will it be difficult to sell in the future because it's on an A road?

Thank you.

It is relatively busy and noisy in rush hours.The houses at the HErne Hill end are pretty big. I think the prices reflect they are on a busier rd than say Burbage rd, but in my opinion it is a safer rd. The 37 goes past and it is safer walking back on this road than the surrounding quieter rds. You can check the police web sites for statistics. I dont think houses sell very often because they are big family houses and people live there for a long time.

The houses at the Herne Hill end of Half Moon Lane now go for ?2-?2.5m and are pretty large - busy at the front but nice gardens at the rear . Further down, opposite the gardens of Delawyk Crescent you are talking ?1m. The North Dulwich end is environmentally to my mind more pleasant. Many of the houses have been extensively refurbed in the last few years, you may just be able to find a do-er upper if you are lucky. Away from the lane, the streets in the North Dulwich triangle are lovely and quiet. Again , the houses are ?950k-?1,3m depending on size, 2 bed flats around ?400k. generally decent environment .


Half Moon Lane itself is busiest around school run time and rush hours, but it's never crazy busy or too loud. Good double glazing / secondary glazing and you will be fine. It's pretty quiet after 8pm. The North Dulwich roads are obviously quieter.


In the 7 years i've lived around the lane, i've never seen any "trouble" and it has always felt safe to me. The 24 hour bus service is really convenient too!

      You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.

      I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
