The Oval record headed “Kennington Oval” belongs in the flat renovation brief where it intersects phased strip-out, services, wet rooms and occupation. That is a local reference often used when describing access, elevations or neighbouring fabric around Oval. We confirm fit, availability and written terms before any visit — Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance, never a marketplace.
