London: Old Kent Rd/Hendre Rd

0 51.49°, -0.08°
About location

The landscape around Old Kent Road in London is low-lying and densely built, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. This major south London thoroughfare runs through Southwark, linking the inner city with routes towards Kent, while the River Thames lies to the north. Around Hendre Road, the wide carriageway, bus services, pavements and everyday shops reflect its role as a working urban corridor rather than a ceremonial boulevard. Old Kent Road has long formed part of the route out of London towards Kent and is familiar far beyond the district as the first property on the British Monopoly board. Older terraces, commercial premises and redevelopment sites capture a part of London in continual change.

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.
