"The name Herne Hill comes from an old spelling of "heron" that made its home here on the river Effra that used to run through it."

You can pop down to Herne Hill market on a Sunday and pick up some fresh produce or locally made clothing and accessories.

Herne Hill has a fantastic community feel with its independently run boutiques and cafes.

Chris Campbell

I do not know of a better park in London with more to offer than Brockwell Park - a lido, BMX track, miniature railway, tennis courts...

What locals say about Herne Hill

  1. Herne Hill is a slice of the countryside in London - a bustling area with a vibrant market every weekend, and a villagey feel. With the addition of the underrated and beautiful Brockwell park, I couldn't think of a better place to live within Zone 2.

  2. Brockwell Park, now a National Trust Park is excellent with a Lido and Gym, Tennis Courts, paddling pool, play park and a old house cafe in the centre.

  3. The Velodrome, so much history!

About Herne Hill

Herne Hill is located in the London Borough of Lambeth and the London Borough of Southwark in Greater London. There is a road of the same name which continues the A215 north of Norwood Road and was called Herne Hill Road. Herne Hill is situated between the more well-known areas of Brixton, Dulwich and Camberwell. It also straddles two boroughs, with a range of independent shops, art galleries, bars and restaurants. The area is home to Brockwell Park. Near a hilltop in Brockwell Park stands Brockwell Hall, which was built in 1831. The park also houses Brockwell Lido, an open-air swimming pool built in 1937.
