War Memorial

You are approaching a site that holds two distinct memorials, each reflecting a different chapter of local loss. The military memorial, standing by the park gate near Kennington Park Place, is a Portland stone monument unveiled in 1924 to honor the soldiers of the local 24th London Regiment. Its original design featured bronze military hardware, including rifles and grenades, which have since vanished from the structure. The regiment it commemorates was deeply tied to the community, based nearby on Braganza Street, and its battle honors across France and Flanders are still carved into the stone today.
