Kennington is a strange postcode. On the one hand, it doesn’t have a natural centre, except for the area around the tube station which is exceptionally busy with passing traffic. But the benefits of the area include amazing transport connections, the ability to walk across the river into Central London, the good selection of bars and restaurants that you’ll find at Kennington Cross (interchange of Kennington Lane and Kennington Road) and the affordability of property here compared to other near-Central London areas. For some relaxation you can head to Kennington Park and for some culture, the Imperial War Museum is close by.
