London: Old Kent Rd/Peckham Pk R

2 51.48°, -0.06°
About location

Old Kent Road lies along the historic A2 corridor in South London, where the dense streets of Southwark extend south of the River Thames. At its junction with Peckham Park Road, this is a working arterial route rather than a tourist quarter: buses, delivery vehicles, local shops and housing all share the road. Its course follows part of Watling Street, the Roman route running from Londinium towards the Kent coast and Dover. Today, Old Kent Road links the Elephant and Castle area with New Cross and southeast London, while Peckham’s residential streets begin immediately to the south. The name is familiar far beyond the district through the British Monopoly board, where Old Kent Road is the least expensive property.

London
City London

London sits on the River Thames in England, where tidal water runs through the capital’s dense historic core. The City of London, long a financial centre, stands east of Westminster, home to the Houses of Parliament and Elizabeth Tower, whose bell is Big Ben. Across the river, the South Bank brings theatres and public spaces to a former industrial waterfront. Westminster Abbey has hosted most English and British coronations since 1066, while Tower Bridge, opened in 1894, remains a working bascule bridge near the Tower of London.

England
Region England

England’s lowland plains, upland ranges and extensive coastline define much of England - these contrasts have long shaped farming, maritime trade and the growth of its cities. The Midlands, where this location lies, sit at the country’s inland centre and were pivotal to Britain’s Industrial Revolution. The River Thames links London with the North Sea, while the Pennines form a major upland spine farther north. Roman roads, medieval cathedrals and industrial-era towns remain visible parts of the national fabric. Explore related webcams around England to build a fuller picture of this varied country.

United Kingdom
Country United Kingdom

The United Kingdom combines long-established institutions with sharply varied regional identities in a way that reflects its position within northwestern Europe. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland share a state while retaining distinct traditions, languages and landscapes. The River Thames runs through London, where the Palace of Westminster and the Tower of London mark centuries of national life; Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are UNESCO-listed. The Highlands, Eryri’s mountains and Atlantic-facing coasts contrast with the densely settled southeast. Football, theatre, pub culture and music remain everyday threads in a country with global cultural influence.
