Originally called Kentish Street, Kent Street began at the north end of Blackman Street and ran eastward from the church of St. George Southwark (Walford). Kent Street was a long and narrow road that connected Southwark to the County of Kent (Stow 1633, sig. 2Q2v). Edward Walford notes that Kent Street was part of the great way from Dover and the Continent to the metropolis until the early nineteenth century (Walford). Kent Street is now commonly referred to as Old Kent Road and is not to be confused with New Kent Road (Darlington). Kent Street is south of the area depicted on the Agas map.
