Northern Line extension fuels property boom as Kennington becomes Zone 1/2: House prices rise along new London Tube route to Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms that opens in Autumn 2021
Transport for London (TfL) today announced that Kennington is changing from a Zone 2 to a Zone 1/2 station
The fare zone change means customers going to and from central London will only pay a Zone 1 fare
Those travelling between Kennington and city centre will also see their pay-as-you-go fare reduced to £2.40
Savills said move is likely to cause house prices in Kennington to rise as demand for homes in area increase
Data shows that the average house price in Kennington between 2010-20 has risen from £381,751 to £581,007

The station, in Orchard Gate, has been awarded a Bees’ Needs Award 2020 by the department for environment, food and rural affairs (DEFRA).
The project to transform the long-forgotten planters along the platforms has been recognised for making the environment more bee friendly by providing food and a home for pollinating insects.
