About Kennington
Kennington's a genuinely safe neighbourhood in the Kent countryside, with crime rates well below the UK and South East averages. Better still, crime's been dropping year on year. You'll pay more for detached and semi-detached homes here than in nearby neighbourhoods, though terraced houses offer better value than most surrounding areas. Schools are a real strength — primaries have Good Ofsted ratings and there's a secondary with sixth form right on your doorstep. The air quality is excellent and the rural setting appeals to anyone after a cleaner way of life. You'll need a car or bike to get around — public transport isn't a strong point here. Local amenities are fairly basic, but if you're after safety, good schools and space rather than city-centre convenience, Kennington's a solid choice.
