About SE11

RENT

SE11 is surprisingly full of diverse things to do. It includes the Imperial War Museum and the UK's largest cricket ground, The Oval. SE11 has also seen a great deal of regeneration activity in recent years and the redevelopment of the area is not finished yet with several large residential and infrastucture projects currently underway.

The modern street pattern of Kennington was formed by the early nineteenth century; the village had become a semi-rural suburb with grand terraced houses.

The Oval cricket ground was leased to Surrey County Cricket Club from the Duchy of Cornwall in 1845, and the adjacent gasometers (themselves an international sporting landmark) were constructed in 1853.

In recent years, Kennington has experienced gentrification, driven by the advantages of its location and good transport links to the West End and the City of London.

Transport:

Transport links in SE11 are excellent.  There are two railway lines, with Vauxhall station in the west lying on the line between Waterloo and Clapham Junction.  Elephant & Castle station to the east is on the Thameslink route from Brighton to Bedford. SE11 has three underground stations on the Northern Line at Oval, Kennington and Elephant & Castle.  Kennington is especially useful as trains from the station serve both the Bank and Charing Cross branches of the Northern Line.  Elephant & Castle is also the southern terminus of the Bakerloo Line.  Just over the postcode border in SW8 lie Vauxhall and Stockwell tube stations, both on the Victoria Line that runs from Brixton to Walthamstow.
