Kennington: A Historic Hub of Culture and Sports From its bustling Underground Tube Train station to its iconic landmarks, it has long been a vibrant neighborhood at the heart of London. In 1959, acclaimed filmmaker Karel Reisz and cinematographer Walter Lassally captured the spirit of this area in their documentary "We Are The Lambeth Boys, " showcasing the lively atmosphere that permeated through every street. Sports enthusiasts have also found solace in Kennington, with West Brom Football Team leaving an indelible mark on the community. Their passion for the game echoed through every match they played, inspiring young talents like Percy who starred in Reisz's film. Cricket aficionados can trace back their beloved sport to The Oval circa 1855 when matches were held there. This historic venue witnessed countless memorable moments that shaped cricket history forever. For those seeking a taste of old-world charm, The Horns Tavern stands as a testament to Kennington's rich heritage. Its existence since 1820 is a reminder of how this area has evolved over time while still preserving its historical roots. Safety has always been paramount in Kennington, evident from the presence of LCC-LFB Kennington fire station. These brave firefighters have protected Lambeth for years, responding swiftly to emergencies and ensuring residents' well-being. The FA Cup Finals hold special significance here too; Blackburn Olympic faced off against Old Etonians in 1883 and Blackburn Rovers clashed with Notts County in 1891. These thrilling encounters brought together football enthusiasts from far and wide to witness history unfold on these hallowed grounds. Through it all, Karel Reisz continued his exploration of life in Lambeth with his masterpiece "We Are The Lambeth Boys. " His lens captured both joyous moments and challenges faced by individuals within this vibrant community during that era. Even amidst adversity like GLC-LFB Fire on Lambeth Road, Kennington's resilience shines through.
