Welcome to The Friends of Kennington Park
About the Friends
The Friends of Kennington Park is a voluntary organisation set up over 20 years ago to improve the park. We work with Lambeth Council, who run the park, to help keep the park in good shape and bring improvements and new facilities for our ever-increasing number of visitors.
We would love to make more friends! Would you like to join us? Click here to get involved and really make a difference.

Kenny is saved!
We are delighted that Lambeth Council have responded so positively to our campaign to Save Kenny. Their planned budget for 2026/27 includes money for the required restoration work.
There is a lot to do before work will start on the bowl and we are looking forward to seeing how the project develops over the next 2-3 months. An updated project plan and financial protocols will be put in place, a new contract tendering exercise will be required and further surveys are likely to be needed.
Look out for updates in our social media . Better still become a member of FoKP and get full details as they emerge.
Thank you for all your support - this couldn’t have happened without you!
Kennington Park Nature Trail – A Fresh Look at a Familiar Place
Kennington Park is full of hidden life — from bees, stag beetles, bats, swallows and butterflies to old trees and nesting birds. The Nature Trail once helped visitors notice these wonders, but the signs have faded and the stories they told are almost lost.
Now, Friends of Kennington Park with the help of Orokolo Nature Clubs are planning to revive and expand the Kennington Park Nature Trail — but to do that, we need your help.
You can read more about our plans here and please take a few minutes to answer our short survey — your feedback will help us design a trail that reflects what matters to you and to the park’s wildlife.
