Herne Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

The old bookies is being refurbed and there’s another deli moving in to the arches.

There’s also more work on Railton Road - the staff of life food place by Hamilton’s had builders in last week and the never open charity place next to the laundrette appears to be being turned into a bar.
 
I see that Heritage Dulwich restaurant in Rosendale Road won the Asian Restaurant of the Year for London this year (in the Asian Curry Awards run by the Asian Catering Federation). I haven't been but local friends speak very highly of it.
 
Been there. I remember it was pretty good:
enthusiastic staff, good presentation
not cheap from memory -
Tasty - but confess I'd been on the edibles as a pre-load, so treat my words with caution
 
I've been. Can't vouch for the non-veggie side of the menu, but the dishes we had were excellent. It's got a North India bias but has a few Goan and Keralan bits too. Definitely hearty fare of the grills, stews, breads persuasion.
Desserts weren't especially memorable though, and the one cocktail I had was far too sweet for my taste. Staff were lovely. Prices were about the same as the local gastropubs.
 
If anyone's looking for some delicious cocktails this evening in I can highly recommend Herne Hill restaurants Park's Edge Bar & Kitchen Restaurant in Herne Hill, London | Park's Edge Bar and Kitchen Went there last week and the cocktails are made fresh on demand, no syrupy stuff. Seriously some of the best I've had in ages and they have a good mocktail selection too.
I really love their super-subtle online marketing. And the leaflets they push through my door are full of such genuine testimonials that I can’t believe I’ve held out for so long!
 
Crowdfunder launched to save local business
has that place really only been there for 13 years? it feels like much longer...perhaps there was a similiar roti place there before that?

50k for legal fees for a case they could easily lose though .. uffff. sounds like a desperate measure
 
Herne Hill folks might already have heard about this house, which was on sale recently.

10 Dorchester Drive, close to and related to the beleaguered Dorchester Court, an Art Deco style house which still has quite a lot of its original features. Although it's on the "local list" of historically/architecturally significant buildings it doesn't have any formal national listing status.

It's emerged that it was built by the owner of a local building company, with the intention of demolishing it and building something new on the site. Lambeth to their credit have issued a Building Preservation Notice on it, which means that the new owner is not allowed to carry out alterations or demolition under English Heritage have assessed it and decided whether it merits a formal listing. (They shouldnt be demolishing anything without planning permission anyway of course)

It seems the builders are there today cutting down various mature trees in the garden.

The new owner:


You may have seen their vans around. They do quite a bit of stuff locally.

Hernians might be interested to know that the Herne Hill Society commissioned a report on restructuring the traffic flow around the railway bridge near the station. Here are some salient documents:

I love how the Tory prospective councillors claim this has all been secret
Well, I received this leaflet a couple of days ago. I sent a message to HHF at 2pm yesterday, mentioning discussion on Nextdoor, and they issued the info above at 5pm. Before that, the report had not been in the public domain. So you could say it was secret, or private, or proprietary, according to taste.
