Way Out Kennington
One of the platform roundel nameplates, in 1920s style that dated from the reconstruction of the City & South London Railway platforms that took place as part of the Kennington - Modern extension works, and that have over the years been replicated. The lettering is the Johnston typeface commissioned by the Underground group and that came into use after 1916. The sign also features the "Way Out" arrow with four flights - over time the number of flights used on arrow signs grew less! These were the first group of stations where the roundel positions were set in physical borders of ceramic tiles as seen here.
