London Video Tour: Lambeth
In this video tour New York Habitat (nyhabitat.com) explores London’s thriving Lambeth neighborhood!
On the tour, David Hill will visit some of the most iconic and popular locations in London. Once a medieval Viking port, Lambeth is now internationally famous for its landmarks and history. Lambeth includes local area hotspots on the South Bank of the River Thames (opposite Westminster), including Waterloo, the Southbank Center, the London Aquarium, the London Eye, and Lambeth Palace. Further south you’ll see Clapham Common on the border of Wandsworth. Learn more about Lambeth on our blog:
Geographically speaking, Lambeth is three miles wide and seven miles long, though most people are only familiar with the northern edge. This video covers the area between Westminster Bridge and Vauxhall Bridge, as well as half of Clapham Commons. Are you looking for an apartment in the area? Consider our long-term rentals:
Waterloo Station
The busiest travel terminal in London, Waterloo Station hosts over 90 million people every year. The building was inaugurated in 1922 but the site has been a rail station since 1848. It’s also connected to the London Underground by three separate lines running beneath it.
Southbank Center
Known worldwide as world-class center of the arts, at 21 acres Southbank Center is Europe’s largest center for the arts. Some of the more notable concert halls include the Royal Festival Hall, the Queen Elizabeth Hall, and the Haywood Gallery. It’s a great place to take the kids.
London Aquarium
Have you ever wanted to swim with sharks? How about feed them? At the London Aquarium you can! It’s the kind of activity kids can get excited about, and despite the way it sounds it’s perfectly safe – the sharks are small varieties. However, for those who don’t want to risk it there’s also turtle feeding.
London Eye
It’s the second-tallest viewing point in London and the largest Ferris Wheel in Europe. Drawing over 3.5 million visitors per year, it’s also the most popular tourist attraction in the entire UK. See for yourself in one of the 32 passenger capsules, and experience London in a truly unforgettable way. Or better yet, pop in for a visit with one of our nearby vacation rental apartments:
Lambeth Palace
Who has the oldest house in town? The Archbishop of Canterbury would give you a run for your money, as Lambeth Palace has been the traditional Archbishop’s seat since the last crusades of the 13th century. Take the kids to the nearby Archbishop’s park for a round of cricket or tennis, then hope on over to Westminster just across the river.
Clapham Common
For a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of Londontown, consider visiting Clapham Common. This 220 acre park is known for its lovely scenery and soothing atmosphere. It’s a great place to go for a midafternoon stroll or just to admire the quieter side of London.
We hope you enjoyed this tour of London’s Lambeth neighborhood. To see more, check out our blog at: nyhabitat.com and let us know which of these spots is your favorite!
