Description

Kennington Palace Court is a block of flats built around 1925 for the Duchy of Cornwall. It has a U-shaped design with wings extending on either side. The building is three storeys high and constructed of stock brick with stone quoins, and a stone cill string on the second floor. A modillion cornice tops the walls before a parapet and a steeply pitched, hipped roof covered in pantiles, punctuated by a few flat-headed dormers. The windows are wide-proportioned sash windows with glazing bars, set within gauged flat brick arches. Entrances are formed by half-glazed doors within moulded architraves, topped with console bracketed cornices. A central Doric porch sits within the seven-bay middle range, with the three central bays projecting under a deep, segmental pediment.

Local climate

Kennington Palace Court sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 95% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
