Lambeth, District in South London, England
Lambeth is a district in South London in the Borough of Lambeth, England. The area stretches from the Thames riverbank into quieter residential streets and includes several tube stations and parks such as Archbishop's Park.
The first written record dates from 1062, when the name referred to a landing place for lambs near the river. Over the centuries the area evolved from agricultural fields into a densely populated urban neighborhood.
The Lambeth Museum preserves the area's past inside a Victorian fire station. Many cafés and shops along the main streets now show Latin American and Southern European influences in their offerings.
Public buses and several tube lines connect the area with the rest of the city. Many supermarkets and local shops stay open until late evening and offer everyday goods.
Frazier Street marks the geographical center of the capital and stands a few minutes' walk from Lambeth North station. Only a small plaque on the ground indicates this mathematical curiosity.
