Old Kent Road

One of Britain’s oldest roads known as an ancient route for pilgrimage and procession, Old Kent Road is now a major thoroughfare passing through the London Borough of Southwark. This historical area and industrial centre once known for its eels, mash, and pies is now popular for clubs, pubs and entertainment venues. The local community is striving to rebrand Old Kent Road as one of London’s ideal commercial and residential areas through several regeneration plans. Old Kent Road is dotted with a modest selection of shops, pubs, bars, cafes and eateries enjoyed by its multicultural community, and boasts a good number of well-preserved period structures, spacious detached and semi-detached houses, converted flats and contemporary apartments. Old Kent Road is just 10 minutes away from the city centre via the A2 and is serviced by Borough Tube Station.
