Around 3.5 miles southeast of our Battersea kitchen, roughly 20 minutes by car.
See our menuHerne Hill is one of south London's best-kept family secrets: Brockwell Park and its lido at the top of the road, a Sunday farmers' market by the station, and Half Moon Lane's run of independents in between. V&Me delivers across SE24 daily - meals cooked fresh each morning in our Battersea kitchen, on your doorstep before 10am.
The spots we hear parents come back to, week after week.
A light, airy neighbourhood cafe-restaurant on Half Moon Lane with excellent coffee, seasonal salads and soups, and a lovely local following.
A dedicated children's cafe with soft play, sessions for the under-threes and spotless toy hygiene - purpose-built for a relaxed coffee while they play.
The much-loved bakery by the station arches - proper bread, pastries and coffee to carry into the park.
Because sometimes the best thing you can do all day is get outside.
The local giant: hilltop views back to the city, the walled garden, the miniature railway, a paddling pool and playground, and the famous lido on the Dulwich Road side.
North towards Denmark Hill, with a big paddling pool for hot days, a playground, tennis courts and a bandstand - quieter than Brockwell at weekends.
A small, well-kept park off Sunray Avenue with a duck pond and fenced play area - the perfect scale for a quick outing with a toddler.
“It's a demanding thing to pull off, but the team execute it perfectly - a great meal plan at a reasonable cost, and they've never missed a delivery come rain or shine.”
