Kennington sits between Lambeth and the South Bank, with Oval tube station at its heart. The Oval cricket ground gives it a sporting identity. Housing is a mix of Georgian terraces in Kennington Park Road, Victorian streets behind, and some substantial council estates. The area has seen significant price increases, driven by Zone 1 location and Northern line access. Kennington Park is a decent green space. It's more affordable than Vauxhall but sharing many of the same advantages.
