The character of Kennington
Cleaver Square and the streets around Kennington Park are genuinely residential, with on-street parking permits controlling much of the kerb space. Kennington Park Road and Kennington Lane, both busier, carry traffic to and from the Elephant and Castle gyratory. We generally wait on the square or a permit-controlled side street rather than the main roads, which keeps the pickup calm regardless of the hour.
- Cleaver Square and its side streets are permit-controlled but suit a standing wait.
- Kennington Park Road is the usual route toward central London rather than the gyratory.
- Kennington Lane carries steady traffic through the day toward Elephant and Castle.
- Very early collections are straightforward given how quiet the residential streets are before seven.
