About

Lambeth Walk and North Kennington lie on the south bank of the Thames in the London Borough of Lambeth; they are not in Southwark. The area sits between Kennington Road and the approaches to Lambeth North and Kennington stations, with the Bakerloo and Northern lines providing rapid connections. Lambeth Walk is a short street that lent its name to the 1937 music-hall song "The Lambeth Walk," a cultural reference that still surfaces in local history projects and occasional street events. The street retains traces of its market past in narrow shopfronts and hawkers' pitches.

North Kennington comprises a mix of Victorian terraces and postwar council housing arranged around quiet streets and small courtyards. Local facilities include community centres, independent shops, and a handful of converted warehouses hosting studios and workshops. Day-to-day life revolves around short walking routes rather than single, large attractions: grocers, a barber, and a bakery sit close to social housing entrances and small playgrounds. The area is used by commuters and families, and planning discussions about infill and pedestrian links shape its immediate future.
