  • Kennington Park House is a 10 storey tower block on Kennington Park Place in the Kennington area of Southwark, London. Constructed in 1953, the site was originally home to the Kennington Theatre, opening as the Princess of Wales' Theatre in 1898. The theatre was rebuilt in 1921 to allow for the projection of moving pictures which it was used for until 1934 when it was purchased by Oscar Deutsch's Odeon Theatre company with the intention of demolishing it and constructing an Odeon Cinema in its place. The plans never got off the drawing board and the site remained unused into the 1940s when it suffered bomb damage as a result of Luftwaffe bombing in the London Blitz. It was partly demolished in 1943 to make the building safe. In 1949, it was subject to a Compulsory Purchase Order by the local authority who started construction on the tower block in 1952. The tower block is of a concrete-frame with brick masonry facing. It contains 40 flats, with parking access from De Laune Street. Today it is managed partly by the Kennington Park House Tenant Management Co-operative, one of the first set up in the London Borough of Southwark in 1992. When the Co-op originally took over responsibility for the management and maintenance of the block, 11 of the 40 properties were leaseholders. Over the years the number of leaseholders has grown and now make up almost 50%. The remaining 21 properties are tenants of the London Borough of Southwark.
