At Greater London Properties, we don’t just work here — our Directors live here too, with their children in the local schools. We know first-hand why this area is such a special place to call home.

Families are drawn to Dulwich and Herne Hill for their outstanding education options. Local primaries like Dulwich Hamlet Junior School, Jessop Primary School, and Turnham Academy are all rated Outstanding by Ofsted. For secondary schools, The Charter School North Dulwich is a huge attraction — consistently praised for both academic achievement and student support. The strong local school system gives buyers confidence that their children can receive an excellent education just around the corner, making properties near these schools especially sought-after.

While the area has a laid-back, village-like feel, it’s brilliantly connected. From Herne Hill, you can reach London Victoria in around 12 minutes or hop on a Thameslink train straight to Farringdon or St Pancras. North, East, and West Dulwich stations all offer quick journeys into London Bridge or Victoria, making them ideal for City workers. Easy bus routes and proximity to Brixton’s Victoria Line add even more flexibility. For many buyers, it’s the perfect blend of suburban peace and city convenience.

Herne Hill’s Brockwell Park is one of the most loved green spaces in South London — with its historic lido, walled gardens, tennis courts, and weekly community events. Over in Dulwich, you’ve got Dulwich Park, Belair Park, and the magical Sydenham Hill Woods — offering scenic walking trails, picnic spots, and family-friendly areas. Buyers coming from busier parts of London are often blown away by how much outdoor space is available here, without having to give up their city lifestyle.

What really makes these areas shine is the sense of community. From the buzzing Herne Hill Sunday market to the independent shops and cafés on Lordship Lane and the historic charm of Dulwich Village, there’s a warmth and character you don’t find everywhere in London. Add in local highlights like the Dulwich Picture Gallery, community events, and strong neighbourhood networks, and it’s easy to see why so many buyers are eager to put down roots here.

At Greater London Properties, we understand this market inside-out because we live it every day. If you’re thinking about selling and want to take advantage of this high demand, we’d love to help. Our Trustpilot reviews speak volumes — and we’d love the chance to show you why.

Warmest regards,
