About Kennington

Tucked away behind Waterloo within a network of quiet, historic streets, Kennington is one of London's best kept secrets. Ten minutes walk from the river, and 20 minutes to Westminster and the Houses of Parliament, it's no surprise that Kennington is popular with politicians. But there's also a thriving local community around the cafés, restaurants and bookshop along Kennington Road, and the ever popular Cleaver Square with its traditional pub, pétanque and street parties.

Kennington is also a neighbourhood of museums. From the local Cinema Museum - appropriate as Charlie Chaplin once called Kennington home - and the new museum within the historic Beefeater Gin Distillery, to the Imperial War Museum, the Garden Museum, the Type Museum and Vauxhall City Farm.

Food lovers need look no further than the excellent café delicatessen Sally White's on Kennington Road. Oval Farmer's Market, Lower Marsh Market and Greensmith's provide for keen cooks.

Nearby Kennington Park has open spaces shaded by mature trees, an English flower garden, playgrounds and friendly café, popular with local dog walkers.

The area is also very gay-friendly, with one of London's oldest gay pubs, the Royal Vauxhall Tavern - famed for its cabaret and comedy just down the road.

One of the most popular walks in London begins where Kennington meets the river, with stunning views of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, and continues along the South Bank past the National Theatre and the Tate Modern museum all the way to Tower Bridge.
