Old Kent Road is a major thoroughfare in South East London, England, passing through the London Borough of Southwark. It was originally part of an ancient trackway that was paved by the Romans and used by the Anglo-Saxons who named it Wæcelinga Stræt (Watling Street). It is now part of the A2, a major road from London to Dover. The road was important in Roman times linking London to the coast at Richborough and Dover via Canterbury. It was a route for pilgrims in the Middle Ages as portrayed in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, when Old Kent Road was known as Kent Street. The route was used by soldiers returning from the Battle of Agincourt.

  • 舊肯特路(英語:Old Kent Road)是位於英國倫敦東南部南華克區的一條道路。它原本是由羅馬人鋪設的古道,其後被盎格魯-撒克遜人所使用並命名為惠特靈大道(Wæcelinga Stræt)。舊肯特路現在是A2公路的一部分。 在16世紀,路上的聖托馬斯澆水處(St Thomas-a-Watering)被用作公開對宗教異見人士及干犯叛國罪者施行絞刑之地。在19世紀,這條道路被正式命名為「舊肯特路」,並於附近設置了多間工業廠房以及大都會煤氣廠(the Metropolitan Gas Works)。 較老舊的建築物在20世紀被拆除作重建,並建造了伯吉斯公園。舊肯特路公共澡堂於1906年啓用,包括了土耳其浴及的設施。在21世紀,公共澡堂旁邊建有數處與商業處所,同時拆卸了路上的公營住宅。 舊肯特路因歌曲《》而聞名,其歌詞描述了倫敦工人階層的生活。在英國版地產大亨的棋盤上,舊肯特路是自起點起第一處物業,也是唯一位於泰晤士河以南的物業地點,同時是兩個價值最便宜物業地點之一。 (zh)
