Hi everyone,


Not sure if this is the right bit of the forum to post this in but here goes! I am looking for a place to rent in Dulwich and recently looked at a property on St Aidan's Road. I thought the house was lovely but am a little concerned about its close proximity to The Herne Tavern at the end of the street. To anyone who lives on St Aidan's Road (or knows the area well), would you say this is a noisy pub?


I am moving to East Dulwich to enjoy the quiet life a bit more, so definitely don't want to end up living next to a really loud pub!


Any advice you could give me would be great.


Thanks very much!

We don't live on St Aidan's but on a neighbouring road, so not sure what the noise would be like at short distance. However, just to reassure you that the Herne is a real family pub, mostly busy during the afternoon/ early evening or Sunday lunch period. Aside from a nicely busy pub quiz on Sunday eves and live music some weekends, it is generally a cosy and quiet pub which is a treat to have within walking distance of home! If I were you, I'd pop in for a weekend drink and get a feel for the place if you're worried...
I live on St Aidans (at the top). I think it's a nice quiet road which is close to buses and the park. Lordship lane is only 10mins away. The herne is a family pub so the garden can get quite noisy in the summer - only a potential issue if you live on the same side of the road as the pub.

Wow, thanks so much for your help everyone! :) East Dulwich seems so friendly!


Family noise is no problem at all, to be honest - I just wanted to check it didn't regularly hold all-night raves or anything like that, hehe!


And KattyKit, I might just take you up on that glass of wine! ;)

like others have said - it depends on how quiet you like things to be! I'm in one of the white maisonettes at the Herne end. You can hear the noise from the kids in the garden when the weather is good, but i've never had trouble with late night noise. The main (minor) irritant is all of the cars parked up the road on a Sunday (they do a pretty popular sunday lunch), but it's not a major problem.

And feel free to send a PM if you fancy any more info/a drink when you move!

Hi Girl82.


we try to keep the noise to a reasonable level. We have a garden policy which means that no one should be outside after 11pm. From time to time we have the odd event which may be audible, but it shouldn't ever be a noise nuisance, rather the noise of people or occasionally music. It never goes on for very long.


If you do move in and have any issues please call The Herne on 020 82999 521 and ask to speak to Darral or Manuel. They are the managers and will do anything they can to assist and assure.


Cheers.

Hi The Palmerston,


Thanks for your message! From what everyone's said here the pub sounds great. I actually popped in recently and think it will definitely become my local if we do move to St Aidan's Road!

I think it's a bonus to have a pub at the end of the street to be honest - I just wanted to check it wasn't open til 3am every night playing massively loud music that's all, hehe!

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
