Lambeth
Lambeth is a London borough in south London, England, which forms a part of Inner London. Its name was recorded in 1062 as Lambehitha, translating as 'landing place for lambs', and in 1255 as Lambeth. The borough covers a total area of about 10.36 square miles. Lambeth is a long, thin borough, being about 3 miles (4.8 km) wide and seven miles (11 km) long. Brixton is its civic centre, and you can find other town centres.
The biggest shopping areas are (in order of size) Streatham, Brixton, Vauxhall, Clapham and West Norwood. The borough is the home of the geographical centre of London at Frazier Street close to Lambeth North tube station. Based on population estimates made during 2014, Lambeth features a permanent population of around 318216 inhabitants. In spite of the borough's population density, Lambeth has open spaces. They include Brockwell Park and Lido, Streatham Common, 50% of Clapham Common, West Norwood Cemetery, Archbishop's Park, Norbury Park, Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens and Ruskin and Kennington Parks.
Along and around the South Bank, a tourist area has evolved around the previous Greater London Council headquarters of County Hall as well as the Southbank Centre and National Theatre. Also on the river is the London Eye and Shell Centre. Nearby is St Thomas' Hospital, Lambeth Palace along with the Florence Nightingale Museum. A landmark inside the centre of the borough is the Art Deco Sunlight Laundry on Acre Lane. Nearby is Brixton, home of Lambeth Town Hall and the Brixton Murals.
