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!

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
