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.

    • These neighbours dislike trees period. They refused to have lost trees replaced by the Estate on our communal green. They don’t like the leaf and seed droppings. These make the grass look ‘messy’. Similarly, they don’t like my policy of leaving the tree leaves where they lie on the grass verge - hence chopping the overhanging branches. It’s like living in the 1950s. My neighbours have three gardeners with leaf blowers who come twice weekly to remove every leaf from their front lawns. Their grass is cut weekly and all the  cuttings put in multiple brown bins. It’s an outdated mindset of the moneyed classes in my view. But sadly, I’m very much in the minority.
