Newington, London

Newington is a place in the London Borough of Southwark.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The name has fallen out of common usage because of London's urban sprawl and most residents would refer to the area as either Borough or Elephant and Castle. The name lives on in the streets Newington Causeway and Newington Butts and in the open space Newington Gardens. Stoke Newington is a quite separate place in North London.
