The Cricketers pub next to Kennington Oval has been closed and derelict since 2002. In March 2019, planning permission was granted for demolition and construction of a new residential development with a replacement ground floor public house. Behind are the famous Grade II gasholders, familiar from test matches at the Oval. The shape of the Oval Cricket Ground was determined by the pre-existing street pattern – not the other way around. See https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6998011 for the front of the pub.
