  Kennington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kennington is a place in the south of London in the London Borough of Lambeth.
Edward III gave the manor of Kennington to his oldest son Edward "the Black Prince" in 1337, and the prince then built a large royal palace between what is now Black Prince Road and Sancroft Street.
Kennington Park Road and Clapham Road is a long and straight stretch of road because it follows the old Roman Stane Street.

 Kennington
The name of Kennington, it is said by some topographers, was probably derived originally from the Saxon Kyning-tun, "the town or place of the king." "In the parish of Lambeth," writes Hughson, in his "History of London," "is the manor of Kennington, which, in the Conqueror's Survey, is called Chenintun.
It would appear that Kennington is still regarded as an appanage of royalty; at all events, it gave the title of earl to the hero of Culloden, William the "butcher," Duke of Cumberland, the younger son of George II.
Kennington in its day has seen its deeds of violence; for it appears that in 1323 Elizabeth, the wife of Sir Richard Talbot, of Goderich Castle, in Herefordshire, was forcibly seized at her house in this parish by Hugh Despencer, Earl of Gloucester, in conjunction with his father, Hugh, Earl of Winchester, and carried off.

This map of the park pre-enclosure, in the early 19th Century shows an ad-hoc boundary, crossed by a road, assymetrical; a coloured-in drawing of the negative spaces between private houses, roads and public thoroughfares.
Non-commodified, non-landscaped, open to use and interpretation by anyone, the park was identified as a threat to authority, to be brought under spatial and symbolic control.
The park was 'landscaped' and trees were planted in straight lines forming a border, with Victorian monuments and fountains scattered around, seemingly at random.

If the design and artifacts of the Royal Park mean anything they are a symbolic obliteration of such a people's history: an enforced amnesia of what the real importance of this space is all about.
By 1852 they had already got the requisite bill through Parliament and Kennington Common was 'enclosed'--its status as an ancient common was reduced to that of a Royal Park.
The park had passed from the LCC (by then the GLC) to Lambeth Council in 1971.
