The Cricketers / Oval

Erstwhile public house next to The Oval cricket ground, rebuilt in the 1930s. Has waited several years to be redeveloped. Behind, a Grade II listed gasholder designed by Sir Corbet Woodall, the world’s largest when it was first built in 1847. Listed partly because it's "the iconic Victorian gasholder that is the backdrop to test cricket at The Oval". London Borough of Lambeth.
