Where exactly is Herne Hill,is it next door to East Dulwich?

I was told by a work colleague that it was easier to travel from

Barbican to Herne Hill,then to East Dulwich.

Also is Dulwich Village West Dulwich and do they have a train station of there own?

Sorry to sound a bit daft (but Im new round here) maybe should do some exploring

Isnt Tulse Hill next door to West Dulwich?

A-Zs work wonders - you don't need to be here ;-)

Herne Hill is due west of E. Dulwich, maybe 1.5 miles, and is on the Thameslink line which has services straight through London, but I don't remember them stopping at Barbican: Farringdon's probably the closest you'll get. The bus between HH and ED is the no. 37.

If it's commuting you're talking about I'd probably take the train from ED to Tulse Hill and chage there onto the Thameslink.

Tulse Hill is south of Herne Hill again about 1.5 miles, and West of West Dulwich. WD does indeed have a station, it's on the South Circular, and on a different rail line to ED.

Have a look at this map

When I first moved here I studied a large A-Z of the area and it helped aa lot to find out where things fitted in with one another. D Village has no station and only 1 bus - the P4 to Brixton. The 37 goes nearby to Putney and Peckham. Nero

I don't think there's much demand for public transport down in the Village. ;)

Tsk! How are the cleaners, chamber-maids and under-gardeners supposed to get ro work from Brixton, Peckham etc?!

North Dulwich station is at one end of the village, and West Dulwich station is at the other.

Dulwich Village is distinct from West Dulwich, although they share the SE21 postcode.

Ok, now I get it - East Dulwich is north of North Dulwich, and West Dulwich is south of North Dulwich. Sorted :))
