Herne Hill
Herne Hill is a district in south London, England, approximately four miles from Charing Cross and bordered by Brixton, Denmark Hill, Dulwich, Loughborough Junction and Tulse Hill. It overlaps the boundary between the boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark. There is a road of the same name in the area (which is part of the A215 and was formerly called Herne Hill Road).

In Rocque's 1746 map, the area was known as "Island Green", reflecting one of the previous routes of the River Effra.〔''The Story of Norwood'' J.B. Wilson & H.A. Wilson ISBN 978-0951538418〕
The first known reference to the name "Herne Hill" was published in 1789.〔A Dictionary of London Place-Names, A. D. Mills, OUP Oxford, 2010, ISBN 9780199566785: "So called in 1789, also Hern Hill on the Ordnance Survey map of 1816, probably named from a field called le Herne c.1495, that is "the angle or corner of land" from Old English Hyrne, with the later addition of hill. Alternatively, it may take its name from the family called Herne mentioned in connection with nearby Dulwich from the 17th century (although their surname almost certainly derives from the same, or a similar, early place name)."〕〔(Family homes and good-value flats in Herne Hill are more popular than ever ), Evening Standard, 17 June 2015, "The name Herne Hill first appeared in 1789. Before then, the area around what is now the station was known as Island Green. No one seems to know how the name Herne Hill arose. Did it come from the local Herne family? It may have been previously called Heron’s Hill, as the River Effra attracted herons. In the 15th century, there was a nearby field called Le Herne, which translated from the Anglian means “an angle or corner of land”."〕 It was probably named from the Old English ''hyrne'', meaning ''corner'' (cognate with the English word "horn"), after a local field called ''Le Herne'' (c.1495) as in "the angle or corner of land".〔 Other suggestions for the origin of the name include ''Heron's Hill'', as the River Effra attracted a large number of herons, and George and Benjamin Herne who were residents in the 17th century, although the latter may have derived their surname from the pre-existing name of the area.〔
