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!

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
