The area of Lambeth, which is a central part of the London Borough of Lambeth, is often more commonly known as Waterloo. This is mainly due to Waterloo Railway Station which has become the hub of this southerly borough.
Other important landmarks in Lambeth include the Royal Festival Hall, St Thomas’ Hospital and the London Eye. Originally, Lambeth was nothing more than marshland, but during the 19th century the region gained a booming population due primarily to its convenient location within easy travelling distance of Central London.
Today, Lambeth is densely populated with both council housing and riverside flats all offering access to transport links and within an easy walking distance of some of London’s main attractions. |
