There was certainly a tram route along the Old Kent Road.

The tram network in South London was very extensive and included
services along most main roads in the inner south-east of London.

But surely the main age of growth of the railways was before the age of
trams?

True, but back then there were inner-city stations on a number of lines
and most of these were closed at an early date as a result of
competition from the trams. But of course there were then, as now, some
areas that were not served by railways, and that's where the various
tram networks really came into their own.
