Zone 1 and 2 Tube station on the [[Category Northern Line|Northern Line]]; southmost meeting of the [[Charing Cross Station|Charing Cross]] and [[Bank And Monument Stations|Bank]] branches. It was previously in Zone 2 only, but in May 2021 it was [https://diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/2021/05/kennington-12.html changed to be in Zone 1 as well], in anticipation of the Northern Line extension to [[Battersea Power Station Station]]. Southbound trains on the Charing Cross branch may terminate here. Due to the tunnel arrangement south of the station (the Kennington loop; see [http://web.archive.org/web/20000919041149/http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/7069/ltkenn.gif diagram]), 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.
