Old Kent Road, Historic road in Southwark, England.
Old Kent Road spans over two miles through South London, connecting Elephant and Castle to Peckham while passing through Bermondsey and Walworth.
Dating back to Roman times, this road formed part of Watling Street, connecting London to Dover and serving as a critical route for medieval pilgrims.
The road features in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and holds the distinction of being the first property square on the British Monopoly board.
Multiple bus routes operate along Old Kent Road, providing connections to central London and southeastern neighborhoods through regular public transportation services.
St Thomas-a-Watering on Old Kent Road functioned as a public execution site for religious dissidents during the Tudor period.
