Census 2021 puts Kennington at 8,644 households with a median age of 34.2. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 12% houses and 88% flats need different handling in SE11.
Private renting sits at 25% and owner-occupation at 28%; the first group books TV mounting at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Kennington, often with surface conduit — and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Kennington is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE11, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 38% one-person households in Kennington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Two streets can behave very differently in Kennington: georgian terraces, the Oval's gasholders and the park between them. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Kennington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access. Nearest station is Kennington (Northern), and one fitter up to 43 inches, two for anything larger or where the screen has to go up a stairwell.
