AN AREA TO BE PROUD OF JUST A STONE’S THROW FROM “OLD FATHER THAMES”, KENNINGTON IS ONE OF INNER LONDON’S BEST-KEPT SECRETS. A large mix of grand Georgian houses and terraces are broken up by pretty squares and green spaces. The genteel atmosphere and central location attracts everyone from families to young professionals. Kennington is a diverse area with a vibrant population and, as such, feels full of life. With so much going on, it’s easy to see why Kennington has such proud and dedicated residents. CLEAVER SQUARE GOING OUT KENNINGTON’S POCKETS OF QUIET “VILLAGE LIFE” BELIES THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF AN AREA ALIVE WITH A RICH TAPESTRY OF PLACES TO EAT, DRINK AND PL AY. Coffee shops, cafés and delis sit side-by-side with quirky restaurants and lively nightspots. THE DOG HOUSE NIGHTS OUT Kennington is home to a wide range of cuisines, from Persian to Eritrean, Vietnamese street food to Portuguese tapas – the culinary delights and imaginative seasonal menus are well known for their authenticity. There are also plenty of great pubs and bars in the area. The cosy Prince of Wales in Cleaver Square (where locals play boules in the summer) is a particular favourite, as is The Dog House on Kennington Road – a large candle- lit corner pub with dark wood decor; a popular haunt for draught beers and “dogs dinner” pub grub. The Pilgrim Pub is a spacious modern bar and a popular spot to catch live music or watch sports on the big TV.

    Old Heath Parish and Community Magazine February 2021 50p THE IRIS A FLOWER OF JOY AND HOPE FOR FEBRUARY My dear Friends, We continue to soldier on and make the best of things in these difficult times. I will not dwell on the current situation because we all know all there is to know and we are all living in genuine hope of a light at the end of the tunnel. Some of you are now getting the ‘jab’ thank God and hopefully all of us over 70s will have it soon. Last month I said I couldn’t let you know how Christmas went because we hadn’t got there but I can now say that we had a joyful Christmas Day mass at full capacity (with restrictions) so Christmas was celebrated. Baby Jesus arrived later than usual because I cancelled the midnight mass because of lack of numbers. First time I have missed Midnight Mass for about 50+ years. I now know how awful the TV is on Christmas eve ha ha. I wasn’t able to see my Sister and Brother in law because they live in London so I cooked my own dinner and snoozed for the rest of the day. I hope that most of you were lucky enough to have some company. Happy New Year to you all. February is usually a quiet month with only Candlemass, Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday to look forward to, I live in hope that we Page | 2 will be able to celebrate those events but time will tell.
