MenuKennington, Surrey
Kennington is a former village that is now an urban area in the metropolitan district of Lambeth, Surrey. The manor of Kennington has belonged to the Prince of Wales since the time of Edward the Black Prince. Edward had Kennington Palace built, later dismantled by Henry VIII. Kennington developed from a village following the opening of Westminster Bridge in 1750 and the construction of Kennington Road from Kennington Common to the bridge. By the early 19th century the village had become a semi-rural suburb with grand terraced houses. Kennington is the location of three significant south London landmarks: the Oval cricket ground, the Imperial War Museum, and Kennington Park. The area is within the council area of Lambeth.
