Tdsa Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hello,Our son is starting at Herne Hill School this year. We'll be coming over from East Dulwich each morning and we're a bit worried about the lack of parking. How do other parents do it? Is there somewhere you can park for 5 minutes while you're dropping them off or is public transport the best method?Many thanks!

minder Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I would go with public transport. Most streets around the school are CPZs and others are full up around 8am.Have you asked at the school about parking?

inthewoods Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The majority of streets around Herne Hill have only restriction between 12 and 2 so drop off and pick up can be done easily by car.

The traffic at school drop off is horrendous, parking is very limited at that time in the morning, and there are lots of commuters and other school children walking along the main road and side roads at that time in the morning, making driving around the local area quite challenging. CPZ consulations are also in progress in the area in a number of roads to change the current setup. I wouldn't want to try to park there every morning, I'd find it quite stressful. But I hate drivning, so maybe it is just me...

Dohchos Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Herne Hill does stagger it's times, as the school does not have a catchment area not all parents can walk, however, there is usually somewhere to park, it only takes 5 mins to drop of and then the roads are clear again by 9.10am.

alaska721 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 My husband parks on Gubyon Avenue when he does the Herne Hill school run. Restrictions on surrounding streets apply between 12pm-2pm.

srisky Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 No problems with parking around there but would avoid Ruskin Walk. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/58492-dropping-off-at-herne-hill-school/#findComment-846958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
