New Cross used to be posh, hence the massive town houses along the main road, like the one Barnes Wallis used to live in. Even Elephant and Castle, which Boak's dad reckons will be the last place in London to gentrify, has security-gated yuppie tower blocks these days.

Kennington, not so much. But there's nowhere in London that isn't a bit posh. This particular pub isn't far from the Oval, hence the cricket connection. Kensington, yes. Kennington, not so much.

Excuse the ignorance of this stupid northerner, but are posh people not the indigenous spices of Kensington? - I think I'd be able to put up with them. I must get down that way someday and see if you are right about Shephard Neame's beers, we don't get them up here. But it just shows, OK beer in a great pub is magic. Sounds lovely.
