Places to eat in Kennington

Kennington is a place to eat rather than to stay. The restaurants here draw steady custom—Cocos Bar & Kitchen, rated 4.7 from nearly 10,000 reviews, sits at the top of the pile, while Toulouse Lautrec and The Tommyfield both maintain strong ratings in the mid-4s. The Dog House, Pizza Express on Kennington Road, and the Prince of Wales round out the options, each with hundreds of reviews behind them.
The spread of venues suggests a neighbourhood with an appetite for dining out across different styles and price points. You'll find everything from casual pizza to the kind of place that draws people back repeatedly. Whether you're looking for a quick meal or an evening out, there is enough here to give you choice.
If you're planning a visit, you would need to arrange accommodation elsewhere and travel in for a meal or evening. The restaurants themselves are the draw—well-reviewed enough that they have built genuine followings beyond the immediate area.
