Tommyfield
185 Kennington Lane, Kennington SE11 4EZ
Smart, mainly food-led pub operated by the Three Cheers Pub Co. with a contemporary feel (was refurbished in 2010) and named after the 19th century market that was home to Britain's first fish and chip shop. Today's food offering, however, extends well beyond just fish and chips, and much of the food comes from sustainable sources. Accommodation was added in 2014. Upstairs is the Master Room, with its own bar, for private parties and events, and hosts one of London’s best stand-up comedy gigs every other Thursday.

Ex-Courage, Inntrepreneur, Unique, now Enterprise Inns. Narrow interior, with plaster-moulded cornice and ceiling roses, classical frieze under the ceiling, thin column with fancy capital, wallpaper, red-upholstered banquettes. Decent mix of longer-standing and more recent incomer locals.
Old Red Lion
42 Kennington Park Road, Kennington SE11 4RS
Listed on CAMRA's London Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors this Grade II mock Tudor style pub retains original features including a central bar, Charrington's windows, brick fireplaces and low internal doors. The original toilets at the rear have been opened up to provide additional seating in cosy side rooms. The pub has a welcoming atmosphere with an eclectic mix of furniture and oddities. Weekly quiz on Sunday. Portobello took over here from Antic in late 2020.
King's Arms
98 Kennington Lane, Kennington SE11 4XD
Situated less than 300 yards from Kennington Tube station, the King's Arms is a traditional pub on the corner of Kennington Lane and Chester Way. The interior is deceptively spacious with multiple TV screens and a pool table. To the rear is an attractive and well stocked garden with plenty of seating. Home cooked food is available from Thursday to Saturday in addition to traditional roast lunch on Sundays.
Beehive
51 Durham Street, Kennington SE11 5JA
A 1930s pub of the mock-tudor style. The interior features modern wooden panelling to the lower part of the walls and bar which gives a more contemporary feel. Large bi-folding glass doors lead to a pleasant paved garden to the rear.
Pilgrim
247 Kennington Lane, Kennington SE11 5QU
Popular, spacious and airy pub which these days offers a single large bar area running the full length of the building. Has tables and chairs in the front half and more informal sofas in the rear. Also has paved outdoor seating areas at both front and back. Live music held on Fridays and Saturdays.
Royal Oak
355 Kennington Lane, Kennington SE11 5QY
There's plenty of Brewer's Tudor dark beams in this pub, and an original "Bass on Draught" window survives at the front, although sadly Bass is no longer available here. This is a small corner-site pub which has the look of always having been a basic boozer. It's certainly one now, and that's no bad thing. A couple of TVs show live sports. Furnishings couldn't be more traditional - soft red upholstered banquettes combined with standard issue tables and chairs, plus some tall stools at the bar of course. This is a friendly locals' pub.
Duchy Arms
63 Sancroft Street, Kennington SE11 5UG
A traditional late Victorian public house forming the corner of Sancroft Street and Courtenay Street. It is underwent an extensive refurbishment 2014. There is a bar to the front and dining area to the rear. The former car park provides ample outdoor seating for the summer.

Twenty German bottled beers, German food menu, and regularly has German football on the screens. All in a Victorian pub with two bars separated by central servery, and period features including cornice, columns, bar stillion.
Black Prince
6 Black Prince Road, Kennington SE11 6HS
Pleasant and welcoming pub situated in a residential side street a few minutes' walk from the Oval cricket ground. Staff believe the pub to date from the 18th century. Dark wood panelling adorns the walls and the decor features shields and barrels. Brunch is served on Saturday from 12-4 and the normal menu resumes thereafter. Roasts on Sunday until they're gone.
Rose Inn
Faversham Road, Kennington TN24 9AJ
This 150-year-old pub was originally a coaching inn that served the drovers along the Faversham road on the way to Ashford market. Recently refurbished with 2 bars and a 22-seater restaurant it serves homemade food and bar snacks. The restaurant also serves a function room for meetings, receptions, parties, wakes etc. A lovely suburban pub which caters for the passing trade close to Junction 9 on the M20 as well as the local community with comfortable bars. There are four TVs showing Sky and BT Sport, making it one of the best pubs in the Ashford area to watch the latest live action. There are also regular pub quizzes, karaoke and live music.
Tandem
193 Kennington Road, Kennington OX1 5PG
Much altered village pub, now part of the Hungry Horse chain, although there is a bar area, with Sky sports dominant. The pub was once called the Fish, owned by a Timothy West, and there is a plaque on what would have once been an outside wall dated 1779 that bears his initials. Before 1844 Oxford students had to catch a train to London at Steventon. They were only allowed to keep a one-horse gig in the city and would stop at this pub to borrow a second horse to make it a tandem, returning it on their way back. The name of the pub was changed in 1915. Refurbished May 2018 and now with more seating in the bar and outside - the children's play area has gone.
