For details of a walk around Kennington, check out:

where you can pick up the walk instructions and a map of the area covered.

The walk is linear from Oval tube Station (Northern line) to Lambeth.

Property in Kennington has belonged to the Duchy of Cornwall since the time of James I and earlier the Black Prince had a palace in the area. The Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens were a major attraction from 1661-1859 but especially in the mid 18th century.

The Lambeth riverfront changed dramatically with the construction of the Albert Embankment.

There are cafes at Lambeth Pier and the Museum of Garden History at the end of the walk

This walk is 3¼ miles mostly paths & pavements.

This walk takes in some attractive Duchy of Cornwall premises as well as the Prince Consort's Model Lodge. The site of the pleasure gardens is used by the Vauxhall City Farm situated opposite.
