LAMBETH

In South London lies a borough that forms part of Inner London. The borough is Lambeth, and it was first recognised as Lambehitha in 1062. The word translates to "a landing place for lambs." 

In 1255, it was known as Lambeth. Described as a relatively youthful borough, the area is dominated by the younger generation. There are also working professionals seeking excellent transport links.

Lambeth is very cosmopolitan in the sense that it is a short walk away from London's cultural hubs featuring world-class events. It is also popular with people for its affordable housing compared to other London boroughs. On top of that, the tube and bus lines are very accessible, making it easy to get around London.

Being out and about in Lambeth means getting some fresh air. Lambeth features some of the best in the country. It has twelve Green Flag Awarded parks out of the 60 green spaces in the borough.

The parks range from large areas to smaller gardens. Brockwell Park, known as the gem of Lambeth borough, is also a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation. It makes for a perfect escape for anyone feeling overwhelmed during the lockdown.

Be surrounded by ancient nature that has stood the test of time. There are several routes to explore, from the marked paths to creating a personal trail.

Brockwell Park has a bit of everything. It has open grassy hills good for a picnic, a small pond with water birds, a large play area for children and a tiny walled flower garden. There are also community greenhouses and a cafe in Brockwell Hall.

The walled garden features many beautiful flowers. The Georgian country house, Brockwell Hall, has an elegant design. It is far from what you would expect in a cafe and kitchen.

At the southern edge of Lambeth is Streatham Common. It is a beautiful, calming space ideal for a daily walking routine. It features The Rookery, a quaint garden space for thinking and getting lost in nature.

Part of the common is a declared local nature reserve. Get lost in the enchanting woodlands and have a stress-free experience in this ample space.

Ruskin Park in Denmark Hill is one of Lambeth's Green Flag Awarded parks. It is well-known for its bandstand highlighted by an array of flowers that give a pop of colour. When feeling down, visit Ruskin Park and see the flowers for a change of mood.

Norwood Park is a 33-acre green space with stunning views of South London. Find it in one of the highest points in Lambeth and make it one of the spots not to miss for viewing the South London skyline. Norwood Park represents the last piece of woodlands of medieval Norwood.

These are all beautiful places to visit in Lambeth. Your visit to Lambeth would not be complete without stopping by a flower shop in Lambeth. A Lambeth florist part of The Flower Shops should be part of the agenda when in the area.
