Herne Hill is settling down to be a proper family-based community. Brockwell Park, a wide sweep of grassy hill surrounding a Victorian mansion, edges it to the west. To the north west is the 'poets' district on the borders with Brixton.
The ground rises to the east of this line, forming a pleasant, hilly quarter of solid red-brick houses between Herne Hill, Milkwood Road and the railway. They are predominantly Victorian and Edwardian 3-4 bed houses, with larger double fronted versions from the same eras in Rollscourt and Fawnbrake Avenue. There is a mixture of homes strung along Herne Hill, from very large Victorian or Edwardian detached and semi-detached houses, plus some inter-war housing, to mansion blocks.
