The Lambeth Walk: art & entertainment south of the river

This Lambeth Walk is a chance to explore a part of central London that has always been set apart; cast adrift by the river, cheeky, proud, a place of alternative entertainments.

350 years ago it was home to the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens later it was birthplace to the circus and the music hall. It was the home of Charlie Chaplin who walked the streets entranced by the vaudeville stars who lived here.

But for years people have passed through this part of London without stopping. But it's making a comeback. New galleries are popping up, the gay community is fleeing increasingly gentrified Soho to hit the clubs and pubs of Vauxhall.


5* Tripadvisor Reviews for the Lambeth Walk

From Anita W March 2017
This is why I go on walks - to explore areas in London and uncover sights that I would not have come across on my own. Michael Duncan, guided us on a walk in his very own neighbourhood. He was both passionate, and knowledgeable as he showed us: not one but TWO art galleries, an amazing display of graffiti art, where Royal Doulton was manufactured, the Southbank Mosaics, and so much more. Highly recommended!

Went on the footprints of London tour, 'Lambeth Walk: Art and Entertainment south of the river' led by Michael Duncan. It was absolutely brilliant, I highly recommend. Michael really knew his stuff and the walk was just the right pace. He really brought Lambeth alive, seeing new and unexpected parts of the area!

I have taken multiple Footprints walking tours: The Lambeth Walk with Michael Duncan, Whitechapel with Sean Patterson, and Maritime Blackwall with Rob Smith. All the of the tours are superb - well researched and woven into a coherent walk covering their chosen area.
