Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You'll find this apartment nestled by Kennington Park, not far from restaurants, shops, and the Oval cricket ground. Although not directly in the centre of London, sightseeing is still easy from here – hop on the Tube and you'll be in Waterloo in around ten minutes. Back at home, the back garden doors fling open to your own private terrace, which is always a huge plus in the capital. There’s a compact yet well-equipped kitchen and everything you need to make yourself right at home.

Local guide
About Kennington
Kennington is one of London's best kept secrets. It's famously home to the major cricket ground The Oval, but we're more interested in its Georgian architecture (check out the charming Cleaver Square, where you'll find locals playing boules and a cosy pub) and proximity to the cultural delights of the nearby South Bank. It's a diverse area, popular with young professionals and families alike - a good area to experience a taste of real London away from the tourists.
