No sticky wickets in Kennington
Kennington lies in south London, mostly in the borough of Lambeth. It's perhaps best known for being the home of The Oval, where Surrey County Cricket Club play; it's also regularly used as a venue for England international matches. Poet John Betjeman described the local St John the Divine church as �the most magnificent church in south London�; it's just one of several stunning buildings in the area.
