Former GENERAL MOTOR CAB COMPANY LTD, now KENNINGTON BUSINESS PARK
From Layers of London: “Built by the General Cab Company 1905. The Company was formed in 1907 and 1,500 taxis operated from here. This building was offices and three-storey garages for 2,000 vehicles in a yellow and red brick and terracotta. It included a Museum with a collection of restored taxicabs. A cooperative undertook repair with facilities for cab owner-drivers. “Kennington Park” on the gable was originally ‘General Motor Cab Co.Ltd.’ in art deco lettering. Next to it the archway into the courtyard was similarly lettered. The rest of the building, now the business centre, comprised garaging, washing and repair facilities.

THE BLACK PRINCE PH
THE SHADY OLD LADY’S GUIDE OF LONDON: “The name refers to the road, which was named after a former lord of the manor. In 1337 Edward III granted the manors of Kennington and Vauxhall and a meadow in Lambeth and Newington to Edward, Earl of Chester and Duke of Cornwall, commonly known as the Black Prince.
The father of Victorian royal magician Evanion (Henry Evans) ran the pub in the 1850's, and as a young man he performed here and very nearly set fire to the building and the pigeons which his father kept there.
The Black Prince Pub featured the infamous fight scene in film Kingsman where Eggsy and his friends drink.

ANGELL TOWN
The first development here came at the beginning of the 19th c. The landowner here was John ANGELL.
Built in the 1970s, as a set of blocks, linked by a decks, walkways and bridges through which robbers and vandals had an easy getaway… It had a reputation of neglect and continued decline, becoming stigmatised as one of worse sink estates in London.
ARCHITECTURAL problems which exacerbated SOCIAL ones had to be removed
So the area was extensively redeveloped from the early 2000s, thanks to the efforts of the local residents (a high degree of participation), and of the community leaders, especially DORA BOATEMAH.
Now, the development has a street format, based on terraced homes, with individual entrances. Unused garages have been transformed into shops and community facilities.
