Boutique pub hotel in Herne Hill with uniquely designed rooms

Rooms

Each of the 19 rooms at the Half Moon is decorated with a different theme, such as the Armstrong suite with a claw-foot bath and walk-in shower. The Irwin grand double room includes a vintage wooden desk, a retro radio, and an original fireplace. All rooms provide air conditioning, a mini fridge with complimentary beer and water, and a coffee machine with Tea Pigs tea.

Dining

The on-site restaurant serves a menu of British dishes including beer-battered fish and chips, Sunday roast, and a vegan breakfast option. Breakfast is included in the room rate and offers a buffet with fresh fruit, pastries, plus a cooked-to-order Full English. The pub also stocks Fuller London Pride ale and has a large beer garden with outdoor seating.

Amenities

The hotel is pet-friendly and accommodates dogs in specific rooms, with Brockwell Park a three-minute walk away for walks. Guests have access to two private dining spaces: the Workshop event space and a snug for family gatherings. The property has no lift, and rooms on the first and second floors are reached by stairs.

The O2 Academy Brixton is a 10-minute bus ride away on bus 68, which also runs direct to central London. Brockwell Park, with its lido and Sunday market, is directly across the street.

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the charming, British-style decor and spacious rooms, some even themed after the Apollo moon landing, complete with coffee and complimentary drinks. The delicious breakfast is a highlight for many, especially the vegan options. While some guests have noted occasional noise from the street, the hotel's proximity to Herne Hill station, providing easy access to St Pancras and the wider city, is a definite plus.

mixed feelings about this stay

street noise unpleasant smell
the room was clean and quite spacious, i must admit.
i booked a room facing the street and it seemed like i was sleeping on the sidewalk, not very fun. there was also a weird smell in the hallway.. not sure what that was about but it certainly wasn't flowers. and the breakfast? well, let's just say i've had better breakfasts at roadside diners..
