Picture of Kennington Station

Historical version 4 of Kennington Station (view current version)

Zone 2 Tube station on the Northern Line; southmost meeting of the Charing Cross and Bank branches.

Southbound trains on the Charing Cross branch may terminate here. Due to the tunnel arrangement south of the station (the Kennington loop), it's much easier to turn a Charing Cross branch train around here than a Bank branch one. (More details at the Wikipedia entry linked below.) Sadly, staying on a terminating train and riding it round the loop is not permitted.
