Charlie lived in Kennington.

On the corner of Methley Street and Bowden Street, Kennington is a tiny space that is a tribute
to Charlie Chaplin. The Blue Plaque, seen above, is on the house where the family once lived.

Charlie's Patch is opposite The Camera Club which was founded in 1885.
The property that is now home to The Camera Club was once a pickle factory. One of
its workers was Charlie Chaplin’s father! Hence the Chaplin lived just across the road.
