Book your spot to join professional tour guide Alison Rae from the Lambeth Tour Guides Association for this fascinating walk through South Bank's architectural history.
North Lambeth and the area leading to the South Bank was historically low-lying, marshy and liable to flooding and only a few Medieval buildings survive. The area changed with the arrival of the railways. Tracks were elevated over the marshes connecting to the new Waterloo Station and as the station was constructed churches, houses and places of entertainment were lost. However, in the 20th and 21st centuries these spaces were reborn and revealed again with new purposes.
This guided tour follows the line of that track, seeking out lost architecture and hidden details that reveal the story of the route from the Lambeth Palace to Waterloo Station.
