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!

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
