Kennington is now a zone 1-2 tube station with new fares in operation from this week.
The change is part of the Northern line extension, due to open this autumn. Previously the station was in zone 2.
When the new stations open at Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms, anyone travelling to central London will only pay a Zone 1 fare while those who travel between Kennington and central London will see single pay-as-you-go fare reduced to £2.40 regardless of time.
Work on commissioning the new escalators and lifts for the stations will also be completed?in the coming weeks.
Andy Lord, Managing Director of London Underground, said: “As more people return to the transport network, changing Kennington to a Zone?1-2 station will benefit?local residents, ensuring that they get the best value fare no matter which direction they are travelling in.
“The Northern line extension will provide vital sustainable transport links to thousands of residents and businesses in Battersea and the surrounding areas, helping reduce carbon and improving air quality, and we thank local residents in Kennington, Battersea and Nine Elms for their patience throughout the work.”
