Welcome to Newington

Newington is a district located in the London Borough of Southwark, in the southern part of Greater London. The area is known for its rich history and cultural diversity, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Newington is home to several landmarks, including the Imperial War Museum, the Ministry of Sound nightclub, and the Elephant and Castle shopping center. The district is also well-connected to other parts of London, with several bus routes and underground stations serving the area.

One of the most notable features of Newington is its vibrant street market, which takes place every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The market offers a wide range of goods, including fresh produce, clothing, and household items. Visitors can also sample a variety of international cuisine, with food stalls selling everything from Caribbean jerk chicken to Vietnamese pho. The market is a hub of activity and a great place to experience the local culture.

Newington is also home to several green spaces, including Burgess Park and Kennington Park. Burgess Park is one of the largest parks in Southwark, with over 56 hectares of open space, sports facilities, and a lake. Kennington Park, on the other hand, is a smaller park that features a Victorian flower garden, a playground, and a cafe. Both parks are popular with locals and visitors alike, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
