It was bound to happen at some point…a Strong Island post about Kens! Kens is a Southsea institution and it’s kebab shop in Osborne Road has been open for years and years but I was only reminded of the amazing mural inside the other day. No idea who painted it but it always produces a smile.
Portsmouth Urban Legend No. 12: Everyone knows someone who knows someone who has met ‘Ken’.

Man. That’s been there forever. It’s a proper banger. When we lived on Osborne Road all those years ago we would often indulge in a dinner time kebab. Plates, forks, the lot. Well posh likes….
