Herne Hill and Loughborough Junction: Police tackle rising ASB

April 18, 2026

Residents of Herne Hill and Loughborough Junction can expect to see an increased police presence as the Metropolitan Police address concerns over a rise in anti-social behaviour (ASB). The force has confirmed it is committed to tackling these issues and taking robust action against those responsible for causing distress in these South London communities.

Direct Engagement in Herne Hill Square

Metropolitan Police officers have been actively engaging with the community, speaking directly with local shopkeepers, residents, and staff in Herne Hill Square. This area, known for its popular Sunday market and independent retailers, has recently been the focus of reports regarding street-level nuisance and aggressive behaviour.

The force stated: "Our team is fully aware of the situation and has been out in Herne Hill Square speaking directly with local shopkeepers, residents, and staff. We are committed to addressing these issues, tackling anti-social behaviour, and taking appropriate action against those responsible for causing distress within the community."

Tackling ASB in Loughborough Junction

The increased police presence extends to Loughborough Junction, an area that has historically faced complex safety challenges due to its position on the border of the Lambeth and Southwark boroughs. Officers are prioritising high-visibility patrols to provide reassurance to commuters using the local station and residents near the Loughborough Estate.

The police encourage residents to approach officers on the ground if they have concerns or information to share. For those who prefer to speak privately, direct contact can be made via email with PC Sakuna Jiamsuntia (3186AS), or by reaching out to the team through the Met Engage portal.

Authorities emphasised that reporting is vital for effective resource allocation. "Please continue to report any incidents you experience or witness, every report helps us build a clearer picture and support with deployments," a spokesperson added. The team concluded by thanking the community for their continued support as they work to improve local safety.
