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. An annual summer fete here brings the community together over jars of homemade jam and games of Splat the Rat. Kennington is so central that it is reputed to be within earshot of Parliament’s Division Bell, and has been a popular place for politicians to live since Westminster Bridge was built in 1750. The genteel atmosphere and recent regeneration now also draw families, while young professionals in all fields love the central location. And despite recent regeneration, with families and young professionals flocking to live here, Kennington remains a diverse area with a mixed population so it still feels full of life. There’s a strong feeling of community spirit, with an active residents’ association, local theatres and well used green spaces. Eating You can enjoy a wide range of cuisines here, from Persian to Eritrean and beyond. Sample the authentic and well-known Portuguese cafes and tapas bars of the South Lambeth Road. Brasserie Toulouse Lautrec is loved by locals, and the upmarket Brunswick House close to Vauxhall serves up an imaginative seasonal menu amid recycled furniture, antiques and curios. Drinking There are plenty of great pubs in the area. Locals love Cleaver Square’s cosy Prince of Wales, and The Pilgrim Pub is a popular spot to catch live music or watch sports. Culture and arts The quirky Cinema Museum is a popular venue for film screenings and talks, and the White Bear Theatre is a long-standing local repertory theatre. Pullens Yards studios, with its picturesque 1870s built live/work units, is home to artists and craftspeople. Newport Street Gallery presents exhibitions of work from Damien Hirst’s art collection. Heritage The Imperial War Museum and Garden Museum can be found here, with the popular tourist attractions of Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament only a half hour stroll across the river. We kindly request that you read the house rules prior to booking and respect them during your stay. Parties or events of any kind will not be tolerated.
