Newington
Southwark, London
Newington sits in north Southwark around Elephant and Castle, a ward at the centre of one of London's largest current regeneration programmes. Thirty-two listed buildings include the Grade II Clifton Cottage, the Grade II Sutherland House, and the Grade II Bishop's House. Public-transport access is very good, with the Bakerloo and Northern lines meeting at Elephant and Castle and the Thameslink a short walk north. Forty-six outstanding-rated schools fall within the catchment, and the food and retail scene at 74 food and 62 non-food venues is still re-forming after the demolition of the old shopping centre. Air quality is among the worst in Southwark thanks to the Elephant roundabout and New Kent Road. The downsides are clear: safety scores sit well below the London median, green space inside the ward comes to just 6 hectares with Pasley Park the main pocket, and conservation area cover reaches only 18% — the heritage sits alongside a lot of postwar and new-build delivery.
