The Neighborhood:
Kennington is excellently placed for some of the best cultural experiences in the Capital. It’s a mere 15 minute walk to the South Bank, the heartland of The Thames, and its theatres, galleries and concert venues, while the Tate Britain is within walking distance, too. Closer to home, The Riverside offers locals the chance to indulge on the river front, whilst a riverside walk showcases the current development taking place in Nine Elms.
Kennington is one of inner London's best kept secrets. It’s an enclave of brick houses and pretty squares containing some perfect examples of Georgian architecture. The most famous is the idyllic Cleaver Square, where locals play boules in the summer with merriment aided by the tiny Prince of Wales pub in the corner.
You can enjoy a wide range of cuisines here, from Persian to Eritrean and beyond. A branch of Vietnamese street food chain Aobaba can be found on Walworth Road, while the Portuguese cafes and tapas bars of the South Lambeth Road are well known for their authenticity. The daytime Ragged Canteen is an excellent vegetarian lunch spot and the upmarket Brunswick House close to Vauxhall serves up an imaginative seasonal menu amid recycled furniture, antiques and curios.
There are plenty of great pubs in the area. Locals love Cleaver Square’s cosy Prince of Wales, or try Zeitgeist, a German gastropub offering regional beers, schnitzels and burgers. The Pilgrim Pub is a popular spot to catch live music or watch sports.
Getting Around:
Tube: Kennington locals have the choice of three Tube stations. On the Northern Line, Kennington and Oval stations are both in Zone 2. Nearby Lambeth North is on the Bakerloo Line and is in Zone 1.
Road: Once you’re out of the traffic on the busy A3, it takes under an hour to reach the M25, or 40 minutes to get to the M1 if you’re heading north.
Bus: The area is extremely well connected. Buses from Kennington Oval and Kennington Cross serve several areas in south London including Brixton, Crystal Palace, Streatham and Tooting. Travel north via the 133 (to Liverpool Street), 59 (to King’s Cross) and 159 (to Marble Arch).
Cycle: For many locals, cycling is their main mode of transport. It only takes 15 minutes to cycle to Charing Cross and, even if you don’t have your own bike, Kennington has several Boris bike docking stations. Cycle Superhighway 7 from Morden to the City runs through Kennington.
Getting away: London City Airport is only 45 minutes away via the DLR and Northern Line. Trains to Gatwick take less than an hour.
The London Eye: 20 minutes on the bus
The Tower of London: 30 minutes on the tube
Heathrow Airport: 70 minutes on the tube
