Half Moon pub to remain closed


Recommended Posts

Sad news that the Half Moon will remain closed for the foreseeable future while Dulwich Estate seek planning permission to convert the upper floors into flats.


I wrote a post about it (and other Herne Hill stuff) here: http://deserter.co.uk/2014/07/is-herne-hill-finished/

I know that alot of pubs have closed in recent years but this article is making alot of negative assumptions.


It's an old building and probably does need a lot of work. As for complaints, anyone who rents those flats will do so in the knowledge the ground floor is a commercial space.

One of my favourite pubs did this in Stockwell (the Albert, if you remember that). Turned the upstairs pool room into flats, spent a bare minimum on the downstairs. Within a couple of years, they had closed the downstairs as well.


The Half Moon should be capable of being a successful landmark pub in the same way as is EDT or the Crown & Greyhound.

    • If they have run out, is there a turf war occurring? 
    • As a slight woman in my mid 60's who's an avid walker I find these reports really upsettting and to be honest they put me off the idea of walking around the area for relaxation and pleasure like I used to. Most disturbing is the report of them threatening to kill someones dog and trying to kick it- I'm streetwise having been born and brought up in Notting Hill long before it was gentrified, and I lived in NYC for awhile in the 80's but there was'nt this senseless nastiness attacking and intimidating people for 'sport' that there seems to be now. Not long ago I had two females on a 185 bus just pushing me and cussing me for no reason whatsover-I confronted them about it and they carried on and started threatening to kill me...I honestly have no idea why. probably Just trying to intimidate me..another passenger advised me to get off because he could see they were jabbing me in the side and pushing me around-I did get off and realised I was actually really shaken up and scared they'd followed me. I dont know why there is so much anger and hatred in the world it saddens me.
