Local parks
Kennington Park is large and attractive Victorian-era public park, with winding paths and numerous mature trees, helping create a graceful, historic yet peaceful atmosphere. 5 min walk
At the heart of the park is an award-winning Old English ‘Flower Garden’, recently restored with funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Lambeth Council. The park also contains the ‘Prince Consort Lodge’, originally designed by HRH Prince Albert as ‘model dwellings for poor workers’.
As well as retaining many of these original features, the park also contains a children’s playground, café, toilets, and various sporting facilities, including Astroturf sports pitches for football and netball, and tennis courts. The ‘Kennington Park Extension’, was added to the main park in 1951 and is home to cricket and other grass sports.
Kennington Park also contains many mature and historic trees as well as open areas for wildlife and biodiversity. The park has a café, an 'old English' flower garden, rose beds and a new 'Green Link' connecting the older Victorian park to the newer extension.
It is home to 'Bee Urban', a London-wide centre for beekeeping and promoting the care and conservation of all bees and other pollinators.
