    The Beehive is situated in the Kennington district of London, in the London Borough of Lambeth. In recent years, Kennington has experienced gentrification, principally because of its location and good transport links to the West End and the City of London. Kennington is home to three significant London landmarks: Kennington Park, The Imperial War Museum and the Oval Cricket Ground.

    The area is serviced by comprehensive TFL bus network.

    The Beehive is situated on the junction of Durham Street and Harleyford Road, a busy junction and arterial road running to Westminster via Vauxhall. As a result, the property experiences high levels of passing traffic and footfall with those attending regular cricket events at neighbouring Oval cricket ground which lies a mere 150m from the property. The property neighbours a large office complex housing a number of SME businesses who utilise the pub during the day.
