Description

The property is situated in the Kennington district of London, in the London Borough of Lambeth. In recent years, Kennington has experienced gentrification, principally because of its location and good transport links to the West End and the City of London. Kennington is home to three significant London landmarks: Kennington Park, The Imperial War Museum and the Oval Cricket Ground.

The area is serviced by comprehensive TFL bus network.

The property is situated on the junction of Durham Street and Harleyford Road, a busy junction and arterial road running to Westminster via Vauxhall. As a result, the property experiences high levels of passing traffic and footfall with those attending regular cricket events at neighbouring Oval cricket ground which lies a mere 150m from the property. The property neighbours a large office complex housing a number of SME businesses who utilise the pub during the day.

The property is a three-storey corner-plot public house of brick construction under a pitched tile roof, with mock Tudor elevations. Despite its character, the property is not a listed building. The property comprises in brief:

GROUND FLOOR:
- BAR: Open-plan trade space with central bar servery. Presented in a modern manner with air conditioning and TVs. Seating for 76 and room for many more standing.
