About Oval
Centred around the historic cricket ground and Kennington Park, Oval is a relaxed inner-city enclave of Georgian and Victorian terraces, local cafes, and leafy residential streets. A diverse mix of commuters, students, and families stroll to the Tube station, while match days bring lively influxes of sporting crowds without spoiling its community-oriented rhythm.
