We were bowled over by this apartment's location, just over a fifteen-minute walk from The Oval cricket ground. It has been the home of Surrey County Cricket Club since it was opened in 1845 and is a regular venue for test match cricket. If you're stumped for other places to go in the area, then head to Beaconsfield Contemporary Art (seven minutes on foot) – there's a lovely vegan café here too. Or one of London's best-loved attractions, the London Eye, is under a thirty-minute walk. History lovers, on the other hand, can visit the Imperial War Museum, a twelve-minute stroll away. It's the same walking distance to the Beefeater Gin Distillery, where you can take a tour or stop off at one of the many restaurants on the doorstep of this belter of a home. Relax on the sunny balcony with a drink in hand – we were hit for six when we saw the vistas over the capital's skyline. The living space is light and bright, thanks to its large patio doors, allowing light to flood in. After all that exploring, have a soak in the bath and then relax on the comfy sofa. This place is the perfect pad for a couple or solo traveller looking to take advantage of all that London has to offer.

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.
Explore the area
Local restaurants, cafes, museums, sites and activities, recommended by our community of hosts and travel experts
Dine at Kennington Tandoori
Experience modern Indian cuisine in a smart, low-lit contemporary setting. This gem of a restaurant is recommended by the Michelin guide and has even been mentioned in J.K. Rowling's book, Lethal White. Enjoy delicious food, attentive service, and a cozy atmosphere.
Grab a pint and a bite at the Black Dog Pub
This bustling corner pub has all you need in a local: great food, proper beers and a lively atmosphere. Reservations recommended, especially for their understandably popular Sunday Roast.
Escape the city at Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens
Once Victorian ‘Spring Gardens’, the Pleasure Gardens today play host to a busy calendar of events from outdoor movie screenings to colourful lights shows. Great for a quiet picnic away from the city.
Enjoy a drink on the river at Tamesis Dock
Views to match any in London, but in the least pretentious setting. This river side barge bar is the perfect spot for a summer sundowner while watching Big Ben turn its lights on across the river.
Explore at Newport Street Gallery
With free entry and set in a Victorian warehouse, this showcase of the British art giant’s private collection gives the public a chance to explore guest exhibitions and classic modern art.
Order tea and cakes at the tea house theatre
This quaint tearoom is set in an old Victorian pub overlooking the Pleasure Gardens. They serve English breakfasts, cakes and loose-leaf tea, but don't dare to ask for coffee.
Dine in the sky at Mezemiso Rooftop Restaurant & Bar
Treat your tastebuds to delectably crafted Lebanese and Japanese dishes, and enjoy views across the city from the riverside Shisha and Cigar Terrace
