A Brief History of Herne Hill
Herne Hill has grown from a rural hamlet in the 18th century to a vibrant residential area today. The arrival of the railway in the 1860s sparked development, making it popular with middle-class Londoners. Many of the beautiful Victorian and Edwardian houses you see today date back to that time.
The area is also home to Brockwell Lido, an iconic open-air swimming pool, and the Herne Hill Velodrome, one of the oldest cycling tracks in the world.
