New Kent Road is a short road in south London, created in 1751 when the Turnpike Trust upgraded a local footpath. The road starts at Elephant and Castle, and runs eastwards for a few hundred yards to a junction with Great Dover Street and Tower Bridge Road (called the Bricklayer's Arms) before being renamed Old Kent Road (the A2). The road forms part of the London Inner Ring Road and as such forms part of the boundary of the London congestion charge zone. New Kent Road is designated the A201. To the north-west, past the Elephant and Castle, this becomes London Road.

The southern side of New Kent Road starts at the Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre, where there are some market stalls around the ground floor entrance. Just inside the first floor entrance there is a small grocery kiosk, La Tienda, run by and for the area's Ecuadorean community. On Saturdays and Sundays it becomes an informal lunch restaurant and social centre, where very little English is spoken. The pub (26) attached to the Shopping Centre is named after a famous local ex-resident: The Charlie Chaplin. It is said that Chaplin had a martini at the pub during a visit to the area in the 1950s.

The Coronet (28) is marked by a flashing neon sign. The site was first occupied by the Theatre Royal, built in 1872 and destroyed by fire only six years later. Rebuilt as the Elephant and Castle Theatre in 1879, Charlie Chaplin performed there. It was converted to an ABC cinema in 1928. In 1966 it was rebuilt yet again as the Odeon cinema, designed by Ernő Goldfinger. After several more changes of name, it became the Coronet cinema in 1981.

The Coronet cinema closed down in 1999, and reopened in 2003 as a music, club and film venue following a £2-million refurbishment which has restored its Art Deco glory. Following a brief closure in 2003, Oasis, Franz Ferdinand and Justin Timberlake performed low-key gigs there in 2004. The Coronet closed again in 2005, amid rumours of a cash crisis, but in Spring 2006, the Coronet's red neon sign is now was lit again, and some events have been announced for this year.

Just before the railway bridge, there is a small private mews that is locked shut outside business hours. The mews houses a pet shop and a Mexican catering company. After the junction with Elephant Road, the used Volvo showroom (50) is the largest one in the UK. Elephant Road itself is a short road that connects New Kent Road with the Walworth Road. The railway arches on the west side house businesses including a bike shop, the Corsica Studios art space and several businesses selling Colombian and Ecuadorian goods. The whole street, including the children's play area and industrial estate on the east side, will be redeveloped as a new cinema and residential complex, planning permission having been granted in early 2006.

From the Volvo showroom as far as the Crown and Anchor Irish pub on the corner of Rodney Place, this side of the New Kent Road is dominated by the Heygate council estate. Completed in 1974, the estate has aged badly and is due for phased demolition between 2006 and 2011. It will be replaced by low-rise housing. The multi-coloured spherical lights in the trees next to the Heygate were installed in 2005 by the Elephant Impacts project. The project repainted and added feature lighting to a number of bridges and buildings in the area during 2004 and 2005, including the adjoining railway bridges on Walworth Road and Newington Causeway, and to London College of Communication and the Metropolitan Tabernacle. The Crossways United Reform Church is part of the Heygate. Immediately behind the church, in a locked garden, is a sculpture Two Cariatyds by Henry Poole, originally created in 1897 for the old Rotherhithe
