The second home of English cricket in London after Lords - these Test matches sell out early. Surrey CCC play here in Division One of the County Championship and tickets are readily available. Also here are Oval Invincibles men's and women's teams playing in The Hundred short game.
The Oval, for sponsorship reasons named the Kia Oval, is an international cricket ground in Kennington, located in the borough of Lambeth, in south London. The Oval has been the home ground of Surrey County Cricket Club since it was opened in 1845. It was the first ground in England to host international Test cricket in September 1880. The final Test match of the English season is traditionally played there.

Charles Chaplin lived with his mother in various addresses in and around Kennington Road in Lambeth, including 3 Pownall Terrace, Chester St and 39 Methley Street, and briefly lived with his father and his mistress, Louise, at 287 Kennington Road where a plaque now commemorates the fact. After Chaplin's mother was admitted to the Cane Hill Asylum, her son was left in the workhouse at Renfrew Road in Kennington.
A somewhat idiosyncratic but interesting museum with limited opening. It can only be visited on guided tours or screenings that can be booked by email or phone. The building is a former workhouse where Charlie Chaplin once lived.
A uniquely decorated house. Book in advance.
Outdoor swimming pool that's empty during cold days and has queues around the block whenever the sun is out.
