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.

    • I've not engaged in this debate so far but you can't be more wrong. In the UK our own language is English, there is a small minority who can rightly claim their language is Welsh or Gaelic, and a couple Cornish. British Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Christians, atheists etc will usually speak British, even if not their first language.  The vast majority will be able to understand English.   A small percentage, less than two percent, of people living in the UK have little or no English (census data).  It is right that in certain situations eg schools there is signage and information in other languages, providing public information. It is wrong that a political party do this, particularly one who came across as opportunist on this occasion. There is an interesting conversation about British expats living, for example, on the continent, where I expect huge swathes who can hardly say a word of French, Spanish etc.
